"Always get it in writing"
"CYA- Cover Your @$$. Learned that when I was a social worker for 10 years & horribly abused by my bosses & clients. I work an office job now doing data entry & the younger employees find it odd that I save so many emails. I want proof of EVERYTHING so I can go back and point out SEE! You DID agree. It’s saved me enough that people trust my credibility and will come to me first if there’s confusion in anything."
Re. the car the kid bought, doesn’t he have parents?
as for any device: RTFM
Socrates himself never wanted his words written down. He wanted people to hear what he said, then if they found it meaningful, they should themselves contemplate it's truth, and debate with others to weed out any falsities. After which, either what he originally said would get repeated, or a new truth would be discovered.
Thus was born the Socratic Method.
I find that hard to believe
