00:00What if you spent one week in Ancient Greece?
00:02Day 1 You arrive in Athens wearing your Nike sneakers.
00:06Ironic since Nike is literally their goddess of victory.
00:09You try to buy a gyro.
00:10There are no gyros, that's a modern invention.
00:13You're handed a chunk of bread and some olives.
00:15Welcome to your new diet.
00:16Day 2 You need to use the bathroom.
00:18There's a communal toilet.
00:20It's a marble bench with holes.
00:21No stalls, no privacy.
00:23Just you, 12 strangers and a stick with a sponge on it that everyone shares.
00:27You hold it in.
00:28Day 3 You attend a philosophical debate.
00:31Socrates asks you, what is the meaning of justice?
00:34You say, I don't know bro.
00:35He spends the next four hours proving you wrong.
00:38Your brain hurts.
00:39Day 4 The Olympics are happening.
00:41You get excited until you realize all athletes compete completely naked.
00:45You suddenly understand why they're so obsessed with olive oil.
00:48Day 5 You try to impress someone by quoting Plato.
00:52They look confused.
00:53Plato is still alive.
00:54He's standing right behind you.
00:56He heard everything.
00:57He's not impressed.
00:58Day 7 You've survived on bread, wine and existential dread.
01:02You smell like olive oil and regret.
01:04You finally understand why they invented democracy.
01:07Because suffering alone is worse than suffering together.
01:10He's losing a little bit, it's worse than suffering, a lot of interest.
01:10He's the poor place and a lot of interest.
