Transcript: Wisdom does not flow like water Plato’s Critique of Pederasty Pederasty Background Symposium Pederasty My Project Pausanias' Speech Pausanias' Speech Two Aphrodites Uranian Heavenly Pandemos Common Text Text Pictures Pictures "Here, Socrates, lie down alongside me, so that by my touching you, I too may enjoy the piece of wisdom that just occurred to you while you were in the porch. It is plain that you found it and have it, for otherwise you would not have come away beforehand." Agathon and Socrates “It would be a good thing, Agathon, if wisdom were the sort of thing that flows from the fuller of us into the emptier, just by our touching one another, as the water in wine cups flows through a wool thread from the fuller to the emptier. For if wisdom too is like that, then I set a high price on my being placed alongside you, for I believe I shall be filled from you with much fair wisdom. My own may turn out to be a sorry sort of wisdom, or disputable like a dream; but your own is brilliant and capable of much development, since it has flashed out so intensely from you while you are young; and yesterday it became conspicuous among more than thirty thousand Greek witnesses." "You are outrageous, Socrates," Agathon said. "A little later you and I will go to court about our wisdom, with Dionysus as judge, but now first attend to dinner." how water flows Principle at play When they do engage in a contest about love Timeline YEAR Alcibiades' Speech Socrates, he claims, is like “those silenuses that sit in the shops of herm sculptors, the ones that craftsman make holding reed pipes or flutes; and if they are split in two and opened up they show they have images of gods within.” (215b) Alcibiades' Speech You, in my opinion,' I said, 'have proved to be the only deserving lover of mine; and it seems to me that you hesitate to mention it to me. Now I am in this state: I believe it is very foolish not to gratify you in this or anything else of mine—my wealth or my friends—that you need; for nothing is more important to d me than that I become the best possible; and I believe that, as far as I am concerned, there is no one more competent than you to be a fellow helper to me in this. So I should be far more ashamed before men of good sense for not gratifying a man like you than I should be before the many and senseless for gratifying you.' Seduction Scene 'Really, my dear Alcibiades, you're no sucker if what you say about me is really true and there is some power in me e through which you could become better. You must see, you know, an impossible beauty in me, a beauty very different from the fairness of form in yourself. So if, in observing my beauty, you are trying to get a share in it and to exchange beauty for beauty, you are intending to get far the better deal. For you are trying to acquire the truth of beautiful things in exchange for the seeming and opinion of beautiful things; and you really have in mind to exchange "gold for bronze." But blessed one do consider better: Without your being aware of it—I may be nothing. Thought, you know, begins to have keen eyesight when the sight of the eyes starts to decline from its peak; and you are still far from that.' Conclusion conclusion If Socrates were to have sex with Alcibiades, he would perpetuate: 1) the idea that people can make each other wise. impact: prevent Alcibiades from realizing his ignorance about wisdom 2) Alcibiades belief that his physical attractiveness is the most important thing about him impact: the belief could harm Alcibiades as he begins to decline from his physical peak, when “Thought begins to have keen eyesight.” (219a) 3) Socrates would be no better than the sophists who cannot acknowledge the ways in which they are ignorant, and thus, risk self-deception. Advantages Advantages to my account: -Fits with the well-known picture of a Socrates who: 1) proclaims his own ignorance. 2) critiques the Sophists for i. both not acknowledging what they do not know ii. exchanging money for wisdom -Makes explicit the way Plato critiques the customs of his time -Throws into question a vision of Socrates as someone who consistently denies bodily urges -Makes clear that the container model is supposed to function in opposition to the image of pregnancy and birth. Accounts of “Plato’s Appropriation of Reproduction” run these two images together.

Transcript: Focus on the United States and Global Perspective Global Reactions to Chinese EVs Future Trends and Conclusions Market Entry of Chinese EVs Consumer Sentiments and Branding American consumers are generally optimistic about Chinese EVs, focusing on affordability, technology, and environmental benefits. However, brand trust remains a challenge, as perceptions of Chinese manufacturing quality influence buying decisions in the competitive US market. The future of Chinese EVs in the US indicates a sustainable trajectory, driven by rising fuel prices and supportive regulations. This growth, alongside increasing collaborations between Chinese firms and US tech companies, positions Chinese EVs to potentially reshape the automotive landscape in the coming years. Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers, such as BYD and NIO, are strategically entering the US market, targeting environmentally conscious consumers and leveraging technological advancements. Their entry is marked by partnerships and investments, indicating a commitment to competing in a rapidly evolving EV landscape. Global Overview Introduction to Chinese EVs China has emerged as the world's largest electric vehicle market, driven by government incentives, robust manufacturing capabilities, and increasing consumer demand. Chinese brands like BYD and NIO are becoming significant players on the global stage, challenging traditional automakers. Market Growth and Trends The global EV market is projected to grow exponentially, with Chinese manufacturers playing a pivotal role. Innovations in battery technology and autonomous driving are accentuating this growth, influencing international supply chains and manufacturing norms. International Responses Countries worldwide are reacting to the rise of Chinese EVs with varied approaches. While some nations are collaborating with Chinese manufacturers to enhance EV adoption, others are imposing regulations to protect their local industries, leading to a complex geopolitical environment. A Comprehensive Overview of International Perspectives Market Dynamics in Australia and the EU Focus on China China's EV Market Landscape Australia: Market Adoption China's EV market has experienced exponential growth, accounting for over 50% of global EV sales in recent years. The country boasts a diverse range of manufacturers, from startups to established automakers, continually innovating to meet increasing consumer demands for sustainable transportation. The adoption of Chinese EVs in Australia has been on the rise, driven by competitive pricing and increasing consumer awareness. Major brands like BYD and SDAR are capturing a growing segment of the automotive market as Australians prioritize sustainable transport solutions. Regulatory Environment Government Policies and Support Both Australia and Germany are implementing regulations to encourage EV adoption. Australia is focusing on reducing tariffs and providing incentives, while Germany emphasizes emissions targets and subsidies to transition towards electric mobility. Consumer Preferences The Chinese government has implemented aggressive policies to promote EV adoption, including subsidies, tax exemptions, and substantial investment in charging infrastructure. These initiatives aim to reduce urban pollution and decrease oil dependency, contributing to the nation's green energy goals. Challenges in Adoption Australian consumers are showing a strong preference for cost-effective, environmentally friendly vehicles. A recent survey indicates that price and safety are key considerations in purchasing decisions, with a favorable view of Chinese manufacturers introducing affordable options. Key Industry Players Despite favorable conditions, challenges remain for Chinese EVs in both markets. Issues such as charging infrastructure, consumer trust, and brand recognition hinder traction, requiring strategic efforts from manufacturers to overcome these barriers. Germany’s Competitive Landscape Major players in China's EV market include BYD, NIO, and Xpeng, all of which are rapidly expanding their product lines and improving battery technology. Their innovation and competitive pricing strategies help maintain China's dominance in the global EV landscape, as they increasingly target international markets. Germany, as a leader in the European automotive sector, faces stiff competition from Chinese EV manufacturers. Brands like NIO and Xpeng are gaining traction, prompting local manufacturers to innovate and enhance their offerings to maintain market share.
