Socrates:”I will pick apart your wu with my method man” Sun Tzu: [shit I better work fast or I am done for] For those that don’t know Socrates’ method was infamous for tearing apart things and breaking them done to components so flawed they became meaningless. Also his dominant presence allowed him to not only gain control but manipulated others into submission with ease (tactic did not hold up well in court when the jury was able take a moment and think without his influence)

@@ryangrear3430 Confucius and Laozi were people of the same period by popular history, and Laozi was a very much respected by Confucius, and they have had many discussions. Laozi mainly came up when Confucius's students asked him something and he would quote Laozi as an authoritative figure. E.g. in The Family Sayings of Confucius, Jikangzi asked Confucius: "I have long heard the names of the five emperors, yet I do not know what they are. I beg to ask therefore: what are the five emperors?" Confucius said: "In the past I have heard Laozi saying: 'There are five elements in this world: gold, wood, water, fire, earth and they combined and made all things. The Gods of these elements, Shaohao, Taihao, Zhuanxu, Yandi, Huangdi, are called the five emperors.'"

"These white boys getting burned, cause guess what, now the Sun's out" is an incredible verse! So many meanings: He calls them "white boys" because they're European, therefore pale, so they get sunburn easily, and at the same time says they blanched with fear because he destroyed them with his words. "Burned" is obvious: getting sunburn from rising sun, or getting defeated/insulted by Sun Tzu "The Sun's out" not only means that Sun Tzu just rose like sun and started his battle, but also refers to Asia itself because the sun rises in the east.
