In terms of the accumulation of knowledge, many people are equal to Socrates, but in terms of innovatiness, Socrates is superior.

Also, today's population is much more than what it was in the days of Socrates, Plato, and what not; say if you had 1000 people, and 1 out of them were like Socrates, you would have 50 of them if there was 50,000 people.
