Plato reports Socrates' plea during his trial here. Despite a brilliant defense, Socrates cannot fight the main accusation, which is to corrupt the youth by making them think and question a form of immutability in power and beliefs. If minds change, it threatens stability; therefore, it is urgent to silence this teaching. This teaching is a great lesson to learn when everything seems to present itself to us as an economic necessity and always for the good of the community; thinking would harm the stability of the rulers still today?
