Plato in the Age of Wi-Fi
1 Plato wakes up, grabs his phone, truth is still buffering.
2 A dark subway, in each wagon, a shadow with headphones.
3 New cave: phone screen glow, augmented reality.
4 The waiter said: "Don’t ask for plain truth! Get a latte, extra foam."
5 I wrote the truth, pressed send... "Subscribe first!"
6 A man said: "Truth? It’s in a three-minute YouTube clip."
7 In the café, Plato sat alone, philosophers lost in stories.
8 I became a freelancer, sold my thoughts, no one bought them.
9 An ad popped up: "Truth on sale! Buy two, get one free!"
10 He stepped outside, the sunlight felt strange, no one looked up.
