TIL the famous Socrates quote about children being disrespectful and having bad manners was actually a fabrication written by a Canadian college student in 1907

TIL that this quote exists

Wow

Well, let's not tell anyone because this shuts the old yapper's clap trap it's good enough for me. Anyway, socrates didn't say anything because he was largely a made up composite character, Socrates is basically Aristotle's Fan Fic

Technically that doesn't prove Socrates never said it, he might've, though it would be one hell of a coincidence. It amuses me to think we'll never know.
