Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I have a huge respect for the enduring legacy of Greek philosophy, and I too thought links in this article were extremely tenuous, and smacked of whatever the fallacy of appealing to ancient wisdom is called. Anyone who's read Plato's dialogues will find that one of their enduring hallmarks is how even the most intelligent and formidable interlocutors are eventually compelled at least to admit the weakness of their arguments within the course of a conversation, if not change their mind to the more persuasive character's (often Socrates') point of view on some profound subjects. It's actually a beautiful and instructive aspect of the literature, but it's an idealized progression of thought among well-educated men - not a realistic portrayal of the average person's psychological progression.
