We are seeing the Ash Conformity Experiment being conducted at scale, throughout the entire world. Conformity destroys the ability the think critically. And its working. The Asch Conformity experiments were a series of psychological trials conducted by Solomon Asch in the 1950s. Asch found that most people were willing to ignore reality and give an incorrect answer in order to conform to the rest of the group. image

Charlie Kirk was not a "Conservative" Activist. He was a Civil Rights leader fighting for the values of a Christian Nation. A Nation under assault from Godless socialists, communists and other statists intent on eroding the morals of our culture into a system of hedonistic slavery with themselves as masters. image

Charlie Kirk was effective because he had a mastery of the trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric). His arguments were principled and precise. His reasoning was sharp and his conclusions, consistent. You may not have agreed with him, but you couldn't have argued with him... A powerful voice was lost because of an irrational mind virus. If more people learned to be more like Charlie, we could have deeper understanding of ourselves, each other and the world. image

Daily Trivium: The Sophists vs The Stoics The Sophists were known for their skepticism and relativism, believing that truth and morality were subjective. They emphasized rhetoric and the art of argumentation, often appealing to emotions to win debates, which led some to view them as morally dubious for prioritizing effective persuasion over objective truth. In contrast, the Stoics believed in an objective moral order governed by reason and nature, advocating for virtue, self-control, and living in accordance with this universal law. They viewed emotions as irrational forces that could cloud judgment and advocated for emotional detachment and inner peace, aiming for a state of tranquility (apatheia) through rational thought. Stoicism taught that the wise person experiences rational emotions (eupatheia) such as joy, wish, and caution, which are clear-headed and appropriate to the situation.
