What did you mean to say by saying that in response to my comment? I am not sure I followed you

Sounded like you were saying you wish people were more platonic and interested in discovery for the sake of discovery, and not for the sake of personal accomplishment. The problem is, when someone else makes a discovery, there's no way for me to get paid for it. So the more "platonic" I become, the more I surrender myself to homelessness.

Or did I misunderstand?

Ah I see where you’re coming from. I was mostly saying that Plato’s work benefits life in general, not to imply go read Plato to cope with your specific situation.

I guess I replied to the parent OP to break into a tangent about Plato solely.
