Explanation: Plato was a philosopher of Ancient Greece whose contributions to philosophy as a field are rightly highly valued. In disciplines, trailblazing is often more important than a refined finished product. "We stand on the shoulders of giants", and all that.

Plato's dialogues, some of which have survived to this day, include the well-known Republic, which is an insufferable masturbatory episode wherein Plato uses his mentor, Socrates, as a mouthpiece to argue with the most easily convinced and sycophantic men in all of Greece.

I still see red when I reflect on the time I wasted reading it.
