Platonic Advertising – 11th October 2026

The poets are at it again,
 they are telling lies.

The people think that they
 don’t want beautiful lies.

A cracked bowl may still hold rain –
 but the perfect bowl exists
only in the realm of ideas!

There is only one solution
 – to tell a bigger lie
of wisdom and virtue…

…or just burn down the truth?

Very much paraphrased from Existential Comics #635 – check it out.


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Honesty As Our Default

It’s best to be a smelly goat
Recognised for being straight
Honesty not hidden under a coat
And delivered without wait

Time is short, we know. All comments sincerely appreciated.
