Socrates was ahead of his time

Google AI Overview be like...
That's actually a true quote. Just phrased poorly by the AI. Anechoic chambers aim to block sound reflections. Hellen keller did go there and said it felt like true silence because she was used to feeling sound cause internal rumbling sensations. But with no reflection you couldn't feel anything from the sounds
whats your source? i can't find anything on google when I search anechoic chambers and hellen keller visiting one
Behind a paywall unfortunately
Language has no equivalent for the absolute physical silence that burst upon me in that fantastic, baffling chamber. […] I have known many kinds of silence—the silence of early morning, the silence of remote mountain summits, the silence of gently falling snow. […] Shut in by floor, ceiling, and walls of fiberglass, I throbbed with the silence of the dead and the silence that covers buried peoples and ages without a history.
TIL, thanks!!
He was actually behind the times, he didn’t realize it was already ancient
Ahh yes, the famous footballer Socrates

Oh I see, I don't follow football but nice to know. That said, I love the idea of an old greek philosopher running with a ball.
Edit: lol I just watched the video
I clicked the link hoping that it, indeed, was Monty Python narrating a philosopher march. Did not leave disappointed!
Party on, dudes, and be excellent to each other.
Ancient Egypt was Ancient to Cleopatra and Mark Anthony. They both lived closer in time to us than they did the building of the pyramids.
