Doomed to Fail

Ep 105 - Examining the Great Thinker: Socrates

Episode Summary

Welcome to Taylor's 4th-grade Philosophy Class! We'll learn the very basics of the life of Socrates; Taylor will totally misinterpret one of his greatest edicts, “The unexamined life is not worth living,” and we'll learn a little about the life of the Ancient Greek Thinkers. The 'Doomed' part is that Socrates LOVED Athens with all his heart, and even when the gigantic jury of 501 Athenian Men find him guilty of not honoring the Gods of Athens & corrupting the youth, he still won't leave. This isn't really for 4th graders. There is some swearing.
