But, like, I think about even Socrates, right?
Socrates, you think, oh, that was that guy.
He wore the toga.
He walked around Athens.
He asked those questions, you know?

Like, his country, like, loses a world war, effectively.
And then Athens is ruled by 30 tyrants.
Literally, it's known as the time of the 30 tyrants.
