The Socratic Method

Notes

• Not achieving high status doesn't make you a loser. Everyone has a different way of achieving a high status.
• We as humans now become happy when society chooses to reward us with a symbolic prize. How are we really happy though, because it seems that where making others happy instead of ourselves?
• I do strongly agree with"  If it’s money that brings you to her attention, perhaps it’s money that she loves". Money doesn't buy happiness. It can attract people who think money makes them happy, but in the end, you will both be miserable.
• " To have status is to act superior". I feel like its normal now in society to make yourself feel small when your around other people who are " superior". Even though this is how those people make themselves superior because you are helping feed there ego by letting yourself be made small.
• Treating others as equals can make you and everyone else around you feel happy while making yourself feel superior just doesn't give the same effect.
• People in society that have status are judges for example.
• Return to living. Stop making everything about yourselves and look around you.
• For the Socratic Method to work people must be willing to think negative.
• Looking for the truth with constant questioning and criticism.
• The word "No" has become too common of a response.
• This method forces the teacher to pay close attention to their students.
• This method also causes to people to believe that authority is meaningless.
