If the history books you're reading are fun and reassuring, you're not reading history, you're reading propaganda. The books you should pick up should open your world view. Should get you to see things that you didn't see before.

the thing that ultimately got Socrates killed, but which was his real power, was that he gave young people a moral imagination. Like they would have thought along with their parents that there was kind of only one way Athens could go. There's like only one way the world works. And Socrates, by asking them questions, by teaching them philosophy, helped them realize they had a lot more options than they might've believed they had based on who was in power.
