"it would be much better for platonists to actual worship Plato. unfortunately philosophy enthusiasts are incapable of worship. the thing about worship is that you recognize not someTHING, but someBODY above you. ideas are safe. people are scary. implies vulnerability." So true.
thank you William. about Plato, i suppose some christian theologians got close, and there are eastern churches where Plato and other philosophers are depicted pretty much like the saints. but even they couldn't give them halos. which is very weak in my opinion. similar to the 'veneration but not worship of Mary'. they were close, but couldn't make it to the finish line.

"ferns make me yearn for dinosaurs". Also true!
