00:00What if you brought a Bugatti Chiron to a 1940s car race?
00:03Day one, you arrive at a dusty racetrack with a shiny blue Bugatti.
00:07Engines rumble across the field.
00:09Hot gasoline burns in the air.
00:11Your car looks nothing like theirs.
00:13The body is smooth and curved.
00:15The panels feel like strange plastic.
00:17Mechanics circle your car slowly.
00:19One mechanic finally asks how much power it makes.
00:22You tell him it produces 1,600 horsepower.
00:25Some men set back in shock.
00:26Most of the drivers start laughing.
00:28They say no engine could make that power.
00:30But they let you race anyway.
00:31Day two, you line up on the starting grid.
00:33Crowd stares at your weird-looking car.
00:36The flag drops.
00:37You press the gas.
00:38Your car launches forward instantly.
00:40Zero to 60 in under two seconds.
00:42In the 1940s, that speed feels impossible.
00:45Other race cars crawl behind you like snails.
00:48Dust storms chase your tires.
00:49Five minutes later, you're already at the finish line.
00:51You turn around and race the track again.
00:53Then you race it a third time.
00:55The crowd goes silent.
00:56Drivers stand frozen beside their cars.
00:59The officials hand you every trophy on the table.
01:01Girls surround you while cameras flash.
01:03Then someone hands you a strange prize.
01:06An old Roman scroll.
01:07You open the brittle paper slowly.
01:09Inside is a book written by fucking Socrates.
01:12One line is written across the page.
01:14If you only won because of your machine, what are you without it?
01:17You stare at the scroll in disbelief.
01:19You can't believe Socrates wrote this thousands of years ago just to rage-bait you again.
01:24We'll see you soon.
01:24Once again, I'll keep it tight.
