The Socrates Argument Clinic

Sócrates: "Would you like to have an argument?"

Yes, please.

"Will that be for a five minute argument or a full course?"

How much will it cost?

"I'm sorry, but you will have to see one of our Sophists for a paid argument"

OK, I'll argue for free.

(...)

What is truth?

"Whenever I succeed in disproving another person's claim to wisdom in a given subject, the bystanders assume that I know everything. But the truth of the matter gentlemen, is pretty certainly this..... that I have told you once."

No, you haven't.

"Yes, I have"

No, you haven't.

"He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have"
"Yes, I have"

No, you haven't.

"Yes, I have"

No, you haven't.

"He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have"
"Yes, I have"

When?

"Just now"

No, you didn't.

"Yes I did!"

Didn't.

"Did!"

Didn't.

"I'm telling you I did"

You did not.

"There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance."

None could deny it, O Socrates.

"Thank you. Anyway I did."

You most certainly did not.

"Life without this sort of examination is not worth living! I most definitely told you!"

You did not

"Yes, I did."

Look, this isn't an argument!

"Yes, it is."

No, it isn't. It's just contradiction.

"No, it isn't."

Yes it is.

"It is not"

It is, you just contradicted me.

"No, I didn't."

Ooh, you did!

"Let me see now if I can explain more clearly what I mean- No, no, no, no, no"

You did just then.

"No, nonsense!"

You did too!
