Reply to comment by Lausn in TIL that the "Lost City of Atlantis" was invented by the philosopher Plato, as a fake enemy for Athens that lost favour of the gods and was sunk in to the sea. by PDRugby

okay so Melville didn't "come up" with moby dick because he worked on a whaling boat? you really committed to that?

everyone has experiences nobody 'comes up' with anything if you're gonna be that strict about it.

plato wrote it down first so he 'made it up' or whatever.

nobody is suggesting it is some kind of hard core deductive Fact needed for launching a space shuttle...
