So he starts going around to the leaders and to the important people of Athens to kind of question them about what they know about life and he's figuring he'll find out that there's got to be someone smarter than him and he starts doing what's called the Socratic method. He starts asking these people questions when they tell them things that he knows and he starts to find out through this Socratic method that these dudes really don't know what they're talking about. So he ends up figuring out that he is the smartest person not because he knows anything but that he knows that he really doesn't know anything. Two of the more famous quotes that are attributed to Socrates really sum him up and they are an unexamined life is not worth living. And the second quote is true knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing. Only thing I really know is I don't know anything at all. And then he starts after that really just kind of being what's called a get fly.
