While Plato did do wrestling and was given his nickname for having broad shoulders, Socrates was accomplished as a soldier and it was the telling of the Apology by the mercenary-philosopher Xenophon that emphasized the value of flexing, consistent with his other writings. On this basis, I think Plato’s purported strength might be wank, since in reality he shied away from such things and his later legacy had people like Plotinus, who was said to be “ashamed to have a body”.
I don’t know as much about Marx’s cigar habits, but we could consider his drunkenness to be hax that wildly mitigates things like inhibition and increases his functional pain tolerance, though it has downsides too.
(Also the notoriously-illiterate powerscaling community usually calls the opposite of a feat an anti-feat)
Where does platos flexing feat put him and is Marx’ cigar consumption a feat or whatever the opposite of that is called?
