A point well made - yet one so many ignore even today. I'm reminded of Hemingway's line relating to Mike's bankruptcy, "two ways, gradually then suddenly."
The Titanic analogy vividly illustrates the slow, often unnoticed erosion of ethical frameworks, from ancient Athens to today. Likening the unreflective stance of Cephalus and Gorgias to a doomed ship is a impressive way to highlight the collapse of once-unquestioned norms. I’m still trying to unpack the dual nature of this process. Excited for more insights connecting Plato and Thucydides to our time!
