Take comfort in knowing there was never an answer.

How would it feel being a farmer in Ancient Greece knowing that your hard earned grain was being taken to feed guys sitting around asking stupid questions all day?

Better feeding these guys than feeding a bunch of Chad Warrior Kings who do nothing but fight wars, oil their abs, and enslave people.
