  1. Wikipedia: "The word orange derives from the Sanskrit word for "orange tree" (नारङ्ग nāraṅga), which in turn derives from a Dravidian root word (from நரந்தம் narandam which refers to Bitter orange in Tamil)."

  2. Yes. I could always leave the castle.

  3. An omnipotent Being would have supreme wisdom, and would do whatever his wisdom dictates.

  4. Invincibility.

  5. This is only partially hypothetical, since the Catholic Church had a firm grip on history back in the day. Still, doing this completely is pretty much impossible. Literacy wasn't ever low enough.

  6. Bribe the guy running the detector.

  7. House.

  8. I don't know. 17.43%. If I remembered differently, would I be a different person? No. If you mean person as in 'being', I would say personhood is determined by the soul, not memories. If you mean person as in character, I would say experience, not the memory thereof, helps shape someone.

  9. Actions are willed by the freewill of the soul. Based on these, we may determine what kind of person you are.

  10. I don't really know what you mean. Evil is either a characteristic (which cannot be treated as an entity) or a Platonic metaphysical entity which does not destruct itself.

Also, the first bullet point on your Socrates picture is false. It refers to Plato's Theory of Forms, which Aristotle says Socrates never held. It was developed by Plato after Socrates' death.

Also, the story of Socrates' death is much more interesting.

The best answer I got. 100% upvoted and followed.

Everything we know about Socrates comes through other people. From what I know Socrates never passed down any written work himself.
