Restoring the Trivium

Another excellent C-Realm podcast that explores Academia in its present incarnation, its true purpose, and how one can develop independent thought and critical thinking through self-directed learning. I didn't enter the public school system until I was 7, before which time I was home-schooled by a foster family, with emphasis placed on critical thinking, not hive mind consumer slave consciousness, and before that I was homeless, a learning experience in itself. And luckily Sodium Fluoride was not added to Hawaii's public water supply until the mid 90's. More on that here.  

KMO welcomes Jan Irvan, host of the Gnostic Media Podcast, and Jarett Sanchez, host of The Next Step Podcast, back to the C-Realm to discuss the Trivium, the bedrock of classical liberal arts education which prepares young minds to be effective critical thinkers and self-directed learners. Jarett helps KMO summarize an essay by Dorothy L. Sayers about how the Trivium mirrors and takes advantage of the stages of childhood cognitive development, and Jan describes why the Trivium is now reserved for elites and systematically denied to the children of the proletariat in compulsory public schooling as a means of social control.
