About this episode
During some more research on the historical significance of leisure time and how to use it wisely, I learned more about ancient Rome and what led to their demise--largely due to a foolish and reckless use of leisure time that was financed by the elites to appease the masses by giving them "bread and circuses." We have been warned--just like the Romans.
