A little nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest men Wisdom, the third leg of the trivium, the sum result of the logic applied to knowledge or lack thereof.

Has not Benghazi have three separate investigations? How much tax payer money did Ken Starr spend on Whitewater? Here is a news flash: you are being lied to. Are we gonna sit around and post our indignation online late into the night or do something come November? Stuff happens and people lie about it, a prior. "I am not a crook" "There was no quid pro quo", etc. They post photos of pro-Chavez rallies and caption them as anti-Chavez riots, where's the beef? What exactly is the point? Is it the economy stupid? What's the plan moving forward?

"I am not a crook" "There was no quid pro quo", etc. They post photos of pro-Chavez rallies and caption them as anti-Chavez riots, where's the beef? What exactly is the point? Is it the economy stupid? What's the plan moving forward? First, Benghazi has had no investigations, none at all, just lip service. And Whitewater likewise was just one big dance to make things look good to the ignorant masses. News flash, it is not I that is being lied to, it is only those with wisdom, wisdom based on the ignorance feed the masses, like those that believe November is anything other than a big circus presented for the entertainment of the ignorant masses. My guess is that the next wait will be in November of 2016 when the red team has disappointed and the blue team needs to get another chance. When stuff happens, the idiots, you know those that choose to just ignore the truth for whatever reason, need but to look in the mirror to see where the problem lies. I find it appalling at how those that choose just to ignore the lies as normal for their microcosm and then act indigent when it is reflected in the macrocosm. Imagine, a law of nature being true all the time. And if you want your degenerative questions answered, I'll be glad to accommodate. Where's the beef? A really intelligent question based on an advertising jingle that reflects the absolute ignorance in the macrocosm of today's world. Sort of an idiots way of stating that things aren't worth knowing, the refusal of knowledge. Good for about any matter one wishes to ignore, the definition of ignorance. What exactly is the point? The point, has to do with knowledge or the lack thereof, exactly. Just another idiotic way to ignore knowing the truth, to justify not making an attempt at knowledge. If one were to stop and look around, even the ignorant recognize that things are amiss, but then those that wish society to remain the slaves they have become, want to offer a way for them not to know exactly what the point is. Congratulations, doing well so far. Is it the economy stupid? Stupid is an interesting word, mostly said by the ignorant to inflict a hateful connotation about another. But its true meaning is but a descriptor of one that has a handicap with learning, not like the ignorant that chooses not to learn, but to one that has a physical mental issue that cannot be overcome. So I would say a better descriptor of your question with your connotation would be; "Is it the economy of the stupid?" Yes it is, why? Because the masses ill understand economic factors much less how they effect things. The ignorant masses scream about the debt but only a small percentage really understand what would truly happen if debt were to stop. Another superbly intelligent question. What's the plan moving forward? And now the most ignorant question of them all. Plan? Moving forward? The plan is already in play, this earth is in the end game, nothing can change it's course at this late point, the macrocosm is set. Moving forward, yep it is, at an extraordinarily alarming rate. The natural law of cause and effect is the key ingredient, the cause has long ago been set in motion, all that remains is the effect to complete. Only a change in the microcosm can be made at this point, so it's up to the individual, and only when enough microcosms have changed will the macrocosm start to change to reflect that change. |

Wisdom, the third leg of the trivium, the sum result of the logic applied to knowledge or lack thereof. So it would seem that wisdom based on knowledge, not ignorance, would never consider the quest for truth as nonsense, only a fool that would base wisdom on choosing to ignore knowledge. The trivium is actually grammar, logic and rhetoric.. You certainly lack the first two and are completely full of the last. Oh my, oh my lookie here. You get all that great tackle, take that trip to the ocean, check that the gear is in order, bait the hook and go fishing. Some days there is nothing, some days you get only minnows, and then there are those days that keeps one coming back.... It is but a snapshot of today's world of indoctrination that one spends so much time for nothing. The indoctrination that depends not on comprehension, but pure rote of a subject so one can spew forth the correct answers as the appointed time and move on to the next subject. Such is the case here with the trivium. The trivium was a methodology of educating the elite generation of the ancient civilizations, the Greeks, the Romans, and the Egyptians. These very astute civilizations devised that to learn and prosper, one needed to gather knowledge, then to understand that knowledge and lastly to use wisdom to be able to determine how to apply that knowledge, thusly: ![]() So I would guess that if one were to actually comprehend the ideology of the trivium, one would then be able to form a basis of the understanding of its design and of course modern day destruction by using that not meant to diminish the concept. After all to accomplish the dumbing down of indoctrination you don't eliminate, you just diminish the concept into insufficiency. But just what has been diminished, to understand that one needs to look at the meaning of a very efficient methodology of acquiring the truth, by understanding and learning how to use that knowledge as laid out in this chart. ![]() We could start here with this document, The Medieval Trivium In the Middle Ages, a good university education included what were known as the Seven Liberal Arts, parts of which were adopted from ancient Greece. These were divided into the trivium (Latin - the three roads) and the quadrivium. Can one spot the obvious misnomer in the lead in paragraph? I would say more than 90% are scratching their heads, one in ten at best will catch on, no problem just a minor little error. But what is interesting is one of the links, a work from Medieval Sourcebook: Petrus Paulus Vergerius: The New Education (c. 1400). To note is this particular passage: We call those studies liberal which are worthy of a free man; those studies by which we attain and practice virtue and wisdom; that education which calls forth, trains and develops those highest gifts of body and of mind which ennoble men, and which are rightly judged to rank next in dignity to virtue only. For to a vulgar temper gain and pleasure are the one aim of existence, to a lofty nature, moral worth and fame. It is, then, of the highest importance that even from infancy this aim, this effort, should constantly be kept alive in growing minds. For I may affirm with fullest conviction that we shall not have attained wisdom in our later years unless in our earliest we have sincerely entered on its search. Nor may we for a moment admit, with the unthinking crowd, that those who give early promise fail in subsequent fulfillment. This may, partly from physical causes, happen in exceptional cases. But there is no doubt that nature has endowed some children with so keen, so ready an intelligence, that without serious effort they attain to a notable power of reasoning and conversing upon grave and lofty subjects, and by aid of right guidance and sound learning reach in manhood the highest distinction. On the other hand, children of modest powers demand even more attention, that their natural defects may be supplied by art. But all alike must in those early years, Dum faciles animi iuvenum, dum mobilis aetas whilst the mind is supple, be inured to the toil and effort of learning. Not that education, in the broad sense, is exclusively the concern of youth. Did not Cato think it honorable to learn Greek in later life? Did not Socrates, greatest of philosophers, compel his aged fingers to the lute? A very apt description of the trivium, to be instilled in the very young, to keep the interest of knowledge sharp least it go stale. But this next passage is very telling: Our youth of to-day, it is to be feared, is backward to learn; studies arc accounted irksome. Boys hardly weaned begin to claim their own way, at a time when every art should be employed to bring them under control and attract them to grave studies. The Master must judge how far he can rely upon emulation, rewards, encouragement; bow far be must have recourse to sterner measures. Too much leniency is objectionable; so also is too great severity, for we must avoid all that terrifies a boy. In certain temperaments-those in which a dark complexion denotes a quiet but strong personality-restraint must be cautiously applied. Boys of this type are mostly highly gifted and can bear a gentle hand. Not seldom it happens that a finely tempered nature is thwarted by circumstances, such as poverty at home, which compels a promising youth to forsake learning for trade: though, on the other hand, poverty is less dangerous to lofty instincts than great wealth. Or again, parents encourage their sons to follow a career traditional in their family, which may divert them from liberal studies: and the customary pursuits of the city in which we dwell exercise a decided influence on our choice. So that we may say that a perfectly unbiased decision in these matters is seldom possible, except to certain select natures, who by favor of the gods, as the poets have it, are unconsciously brought to choose the right path in life. The myth of Hercules, who, in the solitude of his wanderings, learned to accept the strenuous life and to reject the way of self-indulgence, and so attain the highest, is the significant setting of this profound truth. For us it is the best that can befall, that either the circumstances of our life, or the guidance and exhortations of those in charge of us, should mould our natures whilst they are still plastic. In your own case, Ubertinus, you had before you the choice of training in Arms or in Letters. Either holds a place of distinction amongst the pursuits which appeal to men of noble spirit; either leads to fame and honor in the world. It would have been natural that you, the scion of a House ennobled by its prowess in arms, should have been content to accept your father's permission to devote yourself wholly to that discipline. But to your great credit you elected to become proficient in both alike: to add to the career of arms traditional in your family, an equal success in that other great discipline of mind and character, the study of Literature. The training in Letters, not grammar, the study of literature, not grammar. To those ill conceived to grasp the significance of definitions, there is no difference, but to those that do the differences are of great magnitudes. Then we have the second stage of the trivium, understanding as defined by the old world scholors. That which has been deemed "Logic" by modern indoctrinators, a label that even from modern indoctrinators is a misnomer, a more accurate term being argued as dialectic. The Dialectic Stage The dialectic stage is defined as learning to reason, and the body of knowledge learned in the grammar stage is the stuff learning to reason is practiced on. In the grammar stage children learned facts; in the dialectic stage children try to understand the facts they have learned, and begin to relate those facts to one another in a significant way. This stage coincides with middle or junior high school, although it may actually begin for individual children earlier than that, in 5th or 6th grade. It is in the dialectic that the emphasis in cognitive skills shifts from the concrete to the analytical. This is where children are naturally inclined to ask the question ��Why?�� This is where they question what they have learned in the grammar stage to see if it is in fact true. Truth holds up very well under examination, and only proves its nature by this process. While not advocating children question the things they were taught, if what they were taught is true, we need have no fear of it being questioned, even if that questioning runs to things such as the existence of God or the veracity of the Word. Therefore teaching the science of Logic is critical at this stage. It gives children the tools they need to question accurately and arrive at valid conclusions. We might be conditioned to react with shock or discipline, even, when children at this age question, argue, or want to know why. If we can understand that going through this process is the necessary step to arrive at the next one and therefore on to maturity, perhaps we can temper our response and help children learn to question and reason while maintaining an attitude of honor and respect. It would seem form this brief excerpt that logic is but a minute segment of the reasoning and understanding process, therefore a fallacy in using it as the descriptor. And as to Rhetoric, use knowledge and understanding to figure it out. You figure out if Rhetoric is just another modern misnomer or what throughout the ages has been deemed wisdom. Has more changed than just the words. Additionally, if one were to have a Liberal Arts degree and not understand the total concept of the trivium and the quadrivium, then that piece of paper called a diploma has about the same value as toilet paper. What a great day fishing, will come again. |

What's wrong with America! A mirror will provide all the answers as to the guilty parties. The government is but the guns to carry out the will of the people. It is the people that demand all this. "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." - Thomas Jefferson "No people will tamely surrender their liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the contrary, when people are universally ignorant, and debauched in their manners, they will sink under their own weight without the aid of foreign invaders." - Samuel Adams. "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance." - Socrates |
