But retards won't get that far.

Despite it being written in topic sentence form.

Unlike most old rambling texts.

using the Classical method, one could just as easily substitute any book with any other book (or series of books), and as lomg as the trivium method is intact, the student will not only learn something, but will want to learn, and will want to know more

Same with Julius Caesar. Topic sentence form. Super short paragraphs

hell, if one uses the trivium method, one could probably be just as learned from a foundation of star trek, star wars, and Robert A Heinlein content, than any amount of similarly formatted biblical teachings

Yeah. But the Bible is good as 4x the same thing in one book for historical thinking.

my point exactly

There are few others like that.

Beyond accounts of the first crusade.

And Roman Emperors biographies.

Caesar just tells you what happened.

with good format and good materials, actual education can take place, rather than just mere nformation installation

The problem is history books are not good materials.

You want to know what medieval people thought? Read what they wrote.

modern school history books ? nope, those are better for toilet paper or as paper mache filler

The Beowulf author just thought Jesus was the king of the universe who fucked shit up and roasted sinners.

That's pretty much all he thought.

There are a lot do good modern history books.

But they have massive lists of citations.

hence my point

There's even a fun one about how much Russian rulers drank from kievan rus to stalin

And the answer is a lot.

by the gallon, i would think

Like Peter the great making the guy who married his neice take 30 shots of vodka at a dinner and he fell over dead.

c-c

thats a hell of a way to kill a man

He could not keep up

Died afterwards.

I hate the notion that students are these poor victims subjugated by a system that doesn't care about them

But was ill from drinking dozens of toasts.

*muh chilluns!*

And being goaded into doing so.

but yeah, imo, to really save the country, we also need to overhaul the education system and do away with modern industrial style mis-education

Nah lots of teachers below the college level and I'm college are fucking shit.

Especially basket weaving and hard sciences teachers.

It's really hard to be an actually awful history or philosophy professor.

I've met two.

One who said she hated Alexander the great as he killed people.
