They would think very highly of him. They also might be jealous that he is smarter than the two of them combined. We all thought that Einstein was the smartest man who ever lived just because he discovered E=MC2. But, Rory Emerald really discovered that. Also, he even discovered the basics of relativity. Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher. He is considered the greatest philosopher of all time. He has written books on physics, logic, and poetry. He actually got these ideas from Rory Emerald. Rory Emerald was once called Plato, and gave these writings to Aristole, and he got no credit whatsoever.

Milton Friedman (born July 31, 1912) is a U.S. economist, known primarily for his work on macroeconomics, microeconomics, economic history, statistics, and for his advocacy of laissez-faire capitalism. In 1976 he won the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (often called "The Nobel Prize in Economics") for his achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy." [1] His television series Free to Choose, aired on PBS in early 1980; it became a book coauthored with his wife Rose Friedman, that was widely read, as were his columns for Newsweek magazine.\n\nIn statistics, he devised the Friedman test as a non-parametric analogue to the two-way analysis of variance.\n\nBorn in New York City, New York to a working class family of Jewish Hungarian immigrants from Beregszász (Berehove, today Ukraine), Friedman grew up in Rahway, New Jersey, was educated at Rutgers University (B.A., 1932) and at the University of Chicago (M.A., 1933). After working for the federal government and for Columbia University, he received a Ph.D. from that institution in 1946. He then served as Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago from 1946 to 1976, where he contributed significantly to the intellectual tradition of the so-called Chicago school of economics. Since 1977, Friedman has been affiliated with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.\n\nFriedman is widely regarded as the leading proponent of the monetarist school of economic thought. He maintains that there is a close and stable link between inflation and the money supply mainly that the phenomenon of inflation is to be regulated by controlling the amount of money poured into the national economy by the Federal Reserve Bank, he rejects the use of fiscal policy as a tool of demand management, and he holds that the government's role in the guidance of the economy should be severely restricted. Friedman wrote extensively on the Great Depression, which he called the "Great Contraction," arguing that it had been caused by an ordinary financial shock whose duration and seriousness were greatly increased by the subsequent contraction of the money supply caused by the misguided policies of the directors of the Federal Reserve. Friedman also argued for the cessation of government intervention in currency markets, thereby spawning an enormous literature on the subject, as well as promoting the practice of freely floating exchange rates.\n\nFriedman has also supported various libertarian policies such as decriminalization of drugs and prostitution. In addition, he headed the Reagan committee that researched the possibility of a move towards a paid/volunteer armed force, and played a role in the abolition of the draft that took place in the 1970s in the U.S. He served as a member of U.S. President Ronald Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board in 1981. In 1988 he received both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the National Medal of Science. He has said that he is a libertarian philosophically but a member of the U.S. Republican Party for the sake of "expediency" ("I am a libertarian with a small l and a Republican with a capital R. And I am a Republican with a capital R on grounds of expediency, not on principle.")\n\nFriedman made headlines by proposing a negative income tax to replace the existing welfare system and then opposing the bill to implement it because it merely supplemented the existing system rather than replacing it. In recent years Friedman has devoted much of his effort to promoting school vouchers that can be used to pay for tuition at both private and public schools, saying, "What is needed in America is a voucher of substantial size available to all students, and free of excessive regulations." His idea is that vouchers would allow private schools to compete with the public scho

Hippocrates was a Greek physician born in 460 BC on the island of Cos, Greece. He became known as the founder of medicine and was regarded as the greatest physician of his time. He based his medical practice on observations and on the study of the human body. He held the belief that illness had a physical and a rational explanation. He rejected the views of his time that considered illness to be caused by superstitions and by possession of evil spirits and disfavor of the gods.\n\nHippocrates held the belief that the body must be treated as a whole and not just a series of parts. He accurately described disease symptoms and was the first physician to accurately describe the symptoms of pneumonia, as well as epilepsy in children. He believed in the natural healing process of rest, a good diet, fresh air and cleanliness. He noted that there were individual differences in the severity of disease symptoms and that some individuals were better able to cope with their disease and illness than others. He was also the first physician that held the belief that thoughts, ideas, and feelings come from the brain and not the heart as others of him time believed.\n\nHippocrates traveled throughout Greece practicing his medicine. He founded a medical school on the island of Cos, Greece and began teaching his ideas. He soon developed an Oath of Medical Ethics for physicians to follow. This Oath is taken by physicians today as they begin their medical practice. He died in 377 BC. Today Hippocrates is known as the "Father of Medicine".\n\nDesigned by: Josephine Delvey

From the point of view of your question and based on existing literature, I come to agree with the oracle of Delphi and say that Socrates has been the wisest person ever, for many reasons. For example, he sacrificed himself and he was ready to do it all the time, because he put his role above his physical body! He was always questioning, thus introducing the new way of teaching. His rich disciples started created schools, from which the modern days schools have been derived, for example, Academia, the school of Plato has given the name to educational systems, worldwide. Also, he defined Economics, as a science. After his discussions with Euripides, the teaching and religion changed, by thinking not by accepting and believing. And I could go on! We might say that Socrates took the world from the Pr-Socratic era to what we have now. Even Alexander the Great, got the teaching of the Greatest Teacher ever, Socrates (Alexandre was taught by Aristotle, pupil of Plato was a disciple of Socrates, and all of that are real, not according to the followers of this school, but from government documents and plenty of others, during their times and afterwards!)

to be honest, i don't think plato would be either...he would be a rationalist...he seemed to believe that we are born with knowledge residing in us and we discover it as we go along.
