Plato's "The Republic" calls for rulers who are wise, intelligent, and humble in their lifestyle, where philosophers are kings. The question is, would you vote for us as Philosopher kings? Would we vote for us? Our society as advanced as it is, and for all the good we have by comparison to even recent history, is dissatisfactory to all of us in many ways. What would you do if you had the power to change it all? We take that thought seriously in this episode and discover some wonderful and frightening truths about ourselves and our society.
