I am convinced Plato wrote this dialogue just to confuse future generations.

    Because you never know what you might see.
    I agree that Plato is kind of headache inducing, but what about this particular dialogue makes you say that?

    Plato's dialogs are a thing.

    I've never bothered to read them because philosophy makes my head asplode.

    @ Myrmidon: Is this about how people spent ages searching for Atlantis in spite of it clearly being intended as allegorical?

    It's borderline materialist, the forms are barely mentioned, it goes into weird ontological areas Plato never seemed to bother with before, the main speaker isn't Socrates, and no one can agree if Plato actually believed the stuff he put into the dialogue.
