When a Beggar Became the Wisest Man Alive
A peculiar thing happened in ancient Athens around 399 BCE. An oracle-essentially the Google of ancient Greece-declared that no one was wiser than a shabby, snub-nosed man who wandered the marketplace asking annoying questions. Socrates himself was baffled. He knew he wasn't wise. So he set out to find someone wiser, interrogating politicians, poets, and craftsmen. Each claimed expertise, but under Socrates' gentle questioning, their confident assertions crumbled into contradictions. A general who claimed to know courage couldn't define it. A priest who spoke of piety couldn't explain what made actions holy. Socrates finally understood the oracle's riddle: he was wisest because he alone recognized his ignorance. This revolutionary insight-that wisdom begins with acknowledging what we don't know-launched Western philosophy's 2,400-year conversation. Today, when tech giants wrestle with AI ethics or politicians cite philosophers in policy debates, they're continuing Socrates' mission: examining life's fundamental questions rather than accepting comfortable assumptions.
