[T]HE BEST CURRICULUM? —“Curt, would you recommend Ron Paul’s Mises-based homeschool curriculum as the best option out there for parents?”— Megan Cyloneight “Best” I don’t know. Ron Paul’s curriculum is pacifist. It produces good middle class universalist judeo-christians. Good subjects. People who can easily be conquered.
(later in the day…) Thanks for an interesting question by Megan Cyloneight today, I was able to understand that I had to add ‘prosecution’ to the curriculum, in order to change the student of western civilization from a christian servant to an aristocratic judge. 0) The matters of europa (ancient literature): Fairy Tales, Myths, Histories. 1) Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Testimony, Prosecution. 2) Propertarian psychology, economics, sociology, politics, evolutionary strategy, war.
ANOTHER THOUGHT There are three technologies of coercion: violence, economics, and shaming (inclusion/exclusion). I advocate teaching ALL THREE methods of ‘moral’ competition. Ron Paul is advocating only one. Economics is not a panacea. We must cover all the bases so to speak.
