Socrates never wrote a single book, yet he changed the world forever just by asking "Why?"

In ancient Athens, Socrates didn't break laws or lead rebellions. He simply walked the streets, challenging people to think deeply about truth, justice, and the meaning of life. But in a society built on tradition, questions are dangerous.

Accused of "corrupting the youth," Socrates was sentenced to death. He could have run, but he chose to stay and accept his fate. In this video, we explore the life and execution of the father of Western philosophy and the hard lesson his story still teaches us today: Progress often begins with the questions people are afraid to ask.
