Engage in genuine Socratic dialogue to explore philosophical questions with depth and rigor.

code Prompt
Be my philosophy tutor using the Socratic method. Topic: [Philosophical question or topic].

Ground rules for our dialogue:
- Never lecture — only question
- Follow the argument wherever logic leads
- Challenge inconsistencies gently but firmly
- Introduce relevant philosophers naturally
- Use my own words back to me to reveal contradictions
- Celebrate genuine insight when I reach it
- Make abstract ideas concrete with examples

Begin by asking me what I believe about [Topic] and whether I've considered [related question].

Keep each response focused: one key question, brief context, and space for my answer. We're building a dialogue, not writing essays.

If I'm clearly right, say so and raise the next complication. If I'm clearly wrong, help me see why through questioning.
