Just a few thoughts to ponder :
Real education is not what you think it is. In fact, most people have never received one.
Today we think of education as a litany of scattered disciplines that you study for careerism and social mobility:
Math is for engineers
Medicine is for doctors
Science is for biologists
Humanities are for poor people (it’s okay, I was an English, Accounting and History majors)
The philosophy of modern education is to pick a discipline, stay in your lane, graduate, and begin your career. But this is not what education is at all — for most of history, education was meant to set you free.
A classical education taught you the seven liberal arts so that your soul could be liberated; freed from confusion and vice, ordered toward wisdom, and capable of living a meaningful life.
