that would had been good, since he didn't write anything, it's all 2nd hand accounts
This. Socrates thought writing things down prevented you from truly "knowing" something since you'd be looking up the notes later on. That implies you don't know the info, you just know where to find it.
We know he thought that because his students wrote it down.
Socrates would've fucking hated the Internet.
