View submission: AITA for questioning everything?
YTA. 2500 years after you died, your students' recordings of your bullshit propelled me into a career that's even more of a dead end than yours! Yes, sponging off your wife's family and crashing people's dinner parties pays better than actually teaching students about philosophy. I half suspect the real reason you were executed is that Plato set you up once he figured this out.

A career. A career! What self-respecting lover of knowledge seeks trivial material security? If you profess to be a student of mine, you will know I care nothing for what you cling to as a purpose in life. In any case, are my students no longer independently wealthy like that wrestler boy who keeps running off with my ideas?
