[0:00]It was just a few hundred years ago that the ancient Egyptian empire sold people to build their pyramids. Day one, you arrive carrying a bag of white powder. You walk up to the weakest looking worker, dragging heavy stones since sunrise. You hand him a scoop and as he looks at you with his dry, chapped lips, he instantly consumes it. To your surprise, the worker is now pulling two times the weight of one stone and can work all the way till lunch. Day two, you hand out scoops to two more workers, then two become four, then four spreads to eight, and soon you're able to give everyone a scoop of the magical dust. Day three, you're giving everyone one scoop each. The foreman notices his crew is working 30% faster. He asks why. You simply tell him to ask his crew. Day three, the security guard asks for a scoop. You give him two then three scoops, then you tell him you only have enough to be one. As he walks back to the palace, he flexes to everyone. Everyone claps, and the foreman tells you it's a good trade. Your ego then thinks of some change. Day four, the tax collector asks what you're selling? You say protein supplements. He then asks for a bag, which you give to him, and then he looks at his biceps. Later, he writes you down for zero taxes, which you thank him for. As he walks away, you pick up a bag. Day five, Socrates arrives in Egypt. He watches as the strongest Egyptian lifts a 3,000 pound stone all alone. Socrates asked, "What did you give him?" You say creatine. Socrates then says, "If it comes in powder and is white, it's probably the most dangerous thing ever said." You then nod and walk away.
