More than you’d expect.In this short history lesson, Chris revisits Thucydides’ Melian Dialogue—where powerful Athens crushed the neutral island of Milos to prove its dominance. The Athenians argued that justice only applies between equals, giving us the chilling line: “The strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must.”Milos was destroyed. Athens eventually fell.The lesson is timeless: when power abandons morality, hubris follows—and collapse isn’t far behind.
