The banal attitude of “Plato was smart but only for his time; his ideas are 100% obsolete now” is shared by those who only follow a platonism which is modified and approved by their church: “our mysticism is truer than Plato’s, and he’s in hell, but I swear we respect him!”

"This is the soul's true goal: to make contact with that light and to see it by itself, not by the light of something else; to see that very thing through which it sees."

Morality is meaningless
Reincarnation is false

@philliplede Plato made an emphasis that the philosopher should re-enter the cave and engage with the world. Platonism has Greek Bodhisattvas.
