Socrates says that it's impermissible for a god to utter a falsehood. So he now dedicates his entire life to answering two questions, what is wisdom and who is Socrates? So this entire philosophical quest comes out of this moment, the shortest revelation in history, which is no, right? No, there's no one wiser than Socrates.
