What's so special about this equation in Plato's dialogue Meno? I was told it has something to do with Pythagoras and the square root of 2 but why is it important? Is it difficult for an uneducated slave?

No, Socrates claims it is for an illiterate slave and he gives the fact he could solve it as proof of reincarnation.

It's Plato, so its only real interest is in very shakily supporting an incorrect idea that's culturally significant because people have been reacting to Plato for a few thousand years.
