If Elbert Hubbard and Socrates time-traveled to 2012


If the two were to meet, it would most likely meet up in a park. Considering that buildings are way to advance for them to comprehend. The introductions would be little awkward thanks to Socrates strange facial features, but after they find things in common it’s not as bad. After about 20 minutes Elbert brings up the mobiles cutting each other off and people yelling at each other from there mobile windows and brings up the message to Garcia, saying that he bets none of these people would go out of there way for anything. Socrates nods as he watches people on benches talk into shiny rocks, Elbert realizes he’s not paying attention, he gets up and abruptly says “ I bet if I ask anyone in this area if they could send a message for me they wouldn’t”.  Socrates (not really hearing Elbert, agrees). So He walks up middle aged women and asks her if she would send a message for him, she gives him a strange look and walks away. Elbert turns to Socrates and starts back to his seat. They agree and Socrates starts to wonder if people still thought that gods were the purpose of everything too. So he started off towards a group of people standing by a lamppost, he asked if they believed that the gods controlled the sun and the weather. The group didn’t say anything just watched him until they said no and walked away, Socrates headed back to his seat. Elbert started talking about how people haven’t changed and he’s ready to go back, but Socrates disagreed and said he’s going to stay a little longer.
