"Raw and Refined: Diogenes & Voltaire"

Step into the Time Capsule Lounge where ancient provocation meets Enlightenment wit. Diogenes, the Cynic philosopher who lived in a jar and insulted Alexander the Great, encounters Voltaire, the satirist whose banned books shook thrones across Europe. Watch as the man who threw a plucked chicken at Plato debates the writer who compared a king's poetry to indigestion. From the streets of Athens to the salons of Paris, they explore profound questions: Is blunt honesty more effective than clever satire? Can you change society by rejecting it or only from within? What's the true cost of speaking truth to power? A conversation about freedom, absurdity, and the art of making powerful people uncomfortable.
