[0:00]Which era of history would end you the fastest? 10,000 BC. You wake up in the Stone Age starving. You find a bush and eat a handful of berries. Your lips go numb and your stomach turns inside out. Turns out most plants here can end you, and you just picked the worst one. 400 BC. You arrive in Sparta. A senator sees how tall you are and throws you straight into the arena. Your opponent walks out looking like he was carved from marble, arms thicker than your legs. Socrates leans over and says, suffering builds character. You're still on the ground. 500 AD, Persia, finally, somewhere civilized. Silk robes, warm baths, fruit you can't even name. The king invites you to his table. You reach for the food with your left hand. The room goes silent. Guards grab you before you finish chewing. 800 AD, you land face down in frozen mud. A Viking hands you a shield and an axe. You can barely lift either. They drag you onto a long ship. Everyone rows in perfect sync while you can barely grip the oar. Halfway across the sea, your stomach gives up. You survive the voyage. They reward you by sending you out first.
