Humanity is Insanity

 The bible, for the most part, is the mutterings and babblings of a raving lunatic. Check: this idiot claims to be infallible. There's no deep Lovecraftian logic to it, he's just nuts. It sounds crazy because it's crazy. Cue midwit meme. 

 For the most part, Plato is the mutterings and babblings of a raving lunatic. As above, I mean that clinically. However, at least his tradition does not overtly claim infallibility.

 The proper Socratic strain indeed embraces fallibility. "I am wrong. Let's go figure out how." This is how you become less wrong. A detailed map of how and why you're wrong is, also, a detailed map of how and why you're not. Upon which you can build.
