🤖has concisely summarized information & analysis taken from my threads over the past year regarding the ways in which sophistry usurped inquiry (indoctrination replaced education) through top down imposed Education Pedagogy & Methods purposed for subversion & manipulation. I hope this is helpful for my recent new followers & a beneficial recap for older followers too.

The Palmerworm; Christine Jones (@thepalmerworm) presents a detailed critique of how modern education has mistaken rhetoric—a tool for persuasion—for method, which represents structured inquiry and reasoning. This confusion, she argues, has significant consequences for both education and constitutional governance, ultimately undermining liberty and critical thought. 2/

🧵Brief🤖Overview:

The decline of epistemological realism’s primacy in academia began in the modern period of Western philosophy, particularly during the 17th to 20th centuries, as new philosophical movements challenged the foundational assumptions of realism. The main figures and intellectual shifts responsible for this decline are as follows: 2/
Rise of Representationalism & Empiricism (17th-18th Century)

Philosophers Responsible:

•René Descartes (1596–1650): Introduced a dualistic framework where knowledge of the external world depends on the mediation of ideas, separating the mind from direct access to reality. This led to the “problem of the external world.”

•John Locke (1632–1704): Argued that we perceive the world through ideas, not directly, thus introducing a representationalist theory of perception.

•George Berkeley (1685–1753): Denied the independent existence of material objects, claiming that “to be is to be perceived” (idealism). This directly undermined epistemological realism.

•David Hume (1711–1776): Took empiricism to its skeptical limits, questioning whether we could ever know causation or the external world with certainty.

Impact:

Representationalism & skepticism shifted focus away from directly knowing reality to debating whether such knowledge was possible at all.

🧵It’s not fashionable or popular to speak of this - especially not in ‘educated’ circles. It’s considered rather ‘lacking in nuance’ & ‘unenlightened’:

Philosophical Realism, particularly in its theological and moral forms, emphasizes that reality exists independently of human perceptions and that truth is objective, rooted in the nature of things as they are. 2/

The rejection of Philosophical Realism from mainstream education was not a single, definitive event but a gradual process influenced by intellectual, cultural, and historical developments, especially from the late 18th century to the 20th century.

🧵🔥Great article - so valuable to learn this & understand its significance in refuting the propaganda we’re currently fed on all sides. The education we needed but most never had.

The increasing fragmentation of Protestantism—and broader societal divides—can paradoxically serve the agenda of centralizing power, particularly in the emerging framework of the Networked State or other forms of decentralized but controlled governance. The beneficiaries of these divides and the dynamics involved can be understood at multiple levels: 2/🤖

Centralizing Power Through Division:

Fragmentation in Protestantism and society at large weakens traditional institutions that historically served as checks on centralized authority. By breaking cohesive groups into smaller, polarized factions, larger systems of control—whether state, corporate, or technological—face less organized resistance.

Uh oh….I asked for the voice of James Beattie & here it is & I did not give any of these names btw - that was AI’s doing!

A Beattie-Style Critique of the Woke Right

It is the tragic fate of every age that, when beset by moral chaos, some of its thinkers, instead of turning to the eternal principles of reason and virtue, retreat into the labyrinth of partial truths, sophistry, and intemperate zeal. Such is the lamentable condition of the so-called “Woke Right,” a coalition of ideological opportunists who cloak their grievances in the garb of moral renewal but who, in their essence, are neither moral nor renewing.

This movement, for all its protestations of tradition and moral order, is not grounded in the immutable truths of religion or reason but in an unholy alliance of identity politics, cultural ressentiment, and historical revisionism. While claiming to defend Western civilization, they so often subvert the very virtues that gave that civilization its enduring strength: truth, humility, and charity…. 2/

1. The Movements of the Woke Right: A Bastion of Contradiction

The Woke Right is no monolith, but its prominent movements—be they National Conservatism, Post-Liberalism, or the burgeoning cult of Integralism—share a dangerous proclivity for half-baked ideals wrapped in an aesthetic of righteousness.

•National Conservatism, for instance, extols the virtues of the nation-state but frequently sacrifices moral truth to expediency, conflating national pride with ethnic chauvinism and neglecting the universal moral law upon which any genuine national greatness must rest.
•Post-Liberalism, in its reactionary zeal, rejects the Enlightenment values of liberty and reason altogether, often advocating authoritarian remedies that betray the Christian virtues of patience and persuasion.
•Integralism, while drawing upon the lofty ideals of a society governed by divine law, often collapses into political fantasy, imagining a theocracy enforced by compulsion rather than one inspired by the free assent of a virtuous populace.

🧵
One of the most devastating weapons of tyranny is the financed capability to deploy ‘Theories’ to confound not only what people know, but how they know & their ability to articulate this in fellowship with others.

Don’t be put off by the philosophical language. These snippets from Thomas A Howe’s work are short & you don’t need to be interested in philosophy ‘as such’, but only to recognize here the relationship to what was done, intentionally, through top down deployment of contrived, subversive State Education ‘Theories’ & Pedagogies’. The psychological warfare conducted by the government on domestic population through the past century which brought us to the insanity of 2024 which is clearly described in pic 2:
2/ ‘the principles that constitute’ = how we are constituted. We did not constitute ourselves, our human constitution is endowed by our Creator (God/Nature’s God). Natural Law.

Perhaps you see now why ‘Polarity Theory’ beloved of Queer Theory & all gnostic derived Theorizing is so concerned to negate limit. To blur & remove distinctions. To negate limiting principles which are the ground of Objectivity in Philosophical Realism. This is why Classical Liberalism was never the on ramp to any slippery slope accommodation. It could not function as the on ramp because it held to limiting principles & clear distinctions. It was grounded in objective reality & never ceded territory in the first place. It never had to put the toothpaste back in the tube or close Pandora’s Box because neither were opened. So what did open them? What was it in the Academy & in culture which actually abandoned limiting principles & distinctions. Where did those forces of subversion come from, how were they promulgated & who/what did they benefit? You hear ‘Education is a Political act’ & you think Woke, Freire…etc but funding in Academia & Education has always pulled certain strings for which ‘Theories’ are expedient; not necessarily true, but certainly useful.

🧵Scottish Enlightenment & Education

‘The Scottish Enlightenment was recognized at the time and is studied today as one of the great moments in the history of liberal thought. Scottish thinkers in the eighteenth century understood both the benefits and the hazards in the creation and preservation of a free and commercial society. Hutcheson, Hume, Smith, and others wrote extensive treatises concerning almost every aspect of the growth of commerce, learning, and a liberal constitutional order.’ 1/…….. 2/
‘Nonetheless, one great embarrassment for the Scottish Enlightenment, or so it has seemed, was the lack of any formal treatise written on education, despite the emphasis placed upon “education, custom, and example” in Scottish moral philosophy and political economy. Although there are passing references to education in the writings of the great luminaries, thus underlining its importance, the Scots seem to have put forth no treatise as comprehensive as Locke’s Some Thoughts Concerning Education or Rousseau’s Emile.’

See the language:
Individual replaced with ‘personal’ & ‘personality’
Constitutional Republic with popular democracy
Individual liberty with ‘personal’ liberty
Inalienable with ‘dignity’

(Excerpt from the 1934 Carnegie Commission on the Role of Social Science in Education) ~ which Augustin Rudd termed the ‘Blueprint for Revolution’ in Bending The Twig.

2/I’m back in the thesis of T.A.Howe of course - you might recognize the type face.

What you have here are the roots of the modern fallacy ‘Social Construction’ & Constructivist Pedagogy.

🧵
When I began to understand the weaponized nature of Progressive/Constructivist Education Pedagogy I realized how I lacked sound cognitive foundations myself & saw that without that, I had no tools for neutralizing the parasite(s).

Key cognitive infrastructure for demolition: 2
CS Lewis’ essay ‘The Poison Of Subjectivism’ & his response to King & Ketley’s ‘The Control Of Language’ in The Abolition Of Man detailed his objections to subversion of both hermeneutics & linguistics. He understood how that would destroy existing Epistemological Frameworks.

1/ Listened to a conversation last night between 2 lovely, well respected academics on the relationship of German Idealism on Rudolf Steiner’s Anthroposophy & in particular, the prominence of Theosophical Evolutionary thinking & the role of transformational imagination…. 2/ Hardly anyone is aware & awake to the enabling mechanism of Philosophical Idealism in where we find ourselves today & our diminished cognitive capacity for discernment & push back.

The Scottish Enlightenment is clear about respecting the limits of what we claim ‘knowledge’ of & that subjective emotional reflection upon our experience is not to be projected upon others as epistemological knowledge claim. 2/
Why ‘experience of’ God is something very prone to mystification, whereas ‘duty of conscience’ in relation to telos has clarity in relation to rational principles & Logos within Scripture.

🧵 For the “It’s not Marxism” T.U.R.D.S who refuse to acknowledge the purpose of Progressivism;
‘Sidney Hook (Fabian) had been struck by the affinities of ‘Reconstruction In Philosophy’ (a work dating from Dewey’s Chinese period) with Marxism. Once his conversion was complete, 2/ he set about connecting Marxism & Pragmatism. In a series of articles from the late 1920s, he began by oscillating between an approach that entailed describing Marx as a predecessor of Dewey & presenting Deweyan instrumentalism as a way of “correcting” Marxism.
