THE 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.
To create aristocracy I would add to it:
-
Grammar, Logic, Testimony, and Prosecution (including the methods of lying)
-
Propertarian psychology, sociology, group competitive strategy.
-
The methods of legal order: american, british, german, russian, chinese – under which the people create commons while holding a government at bay.
-
The conduct of war by means of immigration, religion/conversion, political means, and economic means, and defense against each.
-
Fitness, Sports, Fighting, tactics, strategy, command and control.
Ron Paul makes well informed, docile, employees.
Curt Doolittle makes well informed unconquerable sheriffs.
(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.
-
The matters of europa (ancient literature): Fairy Tales, Myths, Histories.
-
Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Testimony, Prosecution.
-
Propertarian psychology, economics, sociology, politics, evolutionary strategy, war.
It is no use reserving prosecution and war for the adults. Enfranchise them all.
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.
