of contingent free market enterprise in the world today but the inertia of established infrastructure prevents mass social changes or sales of products that would change mass systemic structures in America for example. An effective electric vehicle platform for 100 dollars with solar panels and thin film quick recharge batteries would put millions out of work and undermine profits of corporations. Not even Wal-mart will sell low cost wind power generators or solar panels for home use because the corporate trick is to keep everyone dependent on oil and global power supply as long as possible. Electric no-water use toilets would conserve water but undermine municipal waste structures and treatment investments.

It was Plato that established the Academy that instructed in philosophy (alethia) and carried on the tradition.

Socrates believed in God and Plato did as well
