This document appears to be page 199 of a manuscript or book, submitted as evidence to the House Oversight Committee. The text is a philosophical essay discussing Plato's political experiences, specifically the establishment of the Academy and his failed attempt to educate the tyrant Dionysus in Syracuse. The author concludes by drawing a parallel between Plato's search for 'philosopher kings' and the modern dilemma of how much power should be yielded to 'technologists' in a democracy.
