Socrates was better than Plato.
Socrates had some cooky ideas but at least he did a lot of relentless questioning. And he was very humble too, he only knew that he knew nothing, etc.
I prefer a lot of the pre-socratics to either of them too.
And yes, Aritstole was hugely influentical and right about a lot of things. Although he was also wrong about a lot of things (and he thought flies had four legs!) . . . and philosophers after him improved upon him.
