Today we begin our discussion of Plato's dialogues with 'Socrates' Defense/Apology'. Basically Socrates' was on trial for corrupting the youth and not believing in God, so he refutes that, discusses his Oracle, and explains if he has any wisdom, it's because he knows he has no wisdom.

We do some post hoc dunking on Liszt, Schumann, and Berlioz as well, but of course it’s all in good
