Ever thought about this comparison? The Athens of the 5th century BC might just be the San Francisco of 2025.
Both eras share something wild—explosive creativity, groundbreaking ideas, and a magnetic pull for brilliant minds. Ancient Athens birthed democracy and philosophy that shaped civilization. Fast forward to SF today: it's the epicenter where crypto builders, AI pioneers, and Web3 visionaries converge.
Same energy. Different millennium. What's your take on this parallel?

The Athenian democracy was indeed pure, but SF is now more about capital violence, lacking that purity.

The Athenian democracy lasted for thousands of years, how long can this group of people last?

The Athenian democracy did not escape decline, what about SF?
