But, I like where you’re going with this.

@EdGallrein I bet that sounded better in your head.

Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul?

In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable.

He calls the result “men without chests.”

People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing.

Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear.

Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning.

Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians.

Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.

"School does not really matter."

"School is nothing but conditioning to think a certain way, to act a certain way, to believe a certain way."

"All true education and learning comes through doing, through pursuing, through curiosity, through inquiry, through research."

"I didn't say that education doesn't matter... I'm simply saying that school is not the only way to become educated." 🎯

When you touch something, a table, your phone, another person, it feels like there's direct contact. But at the atomic level, that sensation is an illusion. In reality, atoms never truly touch each other. The electrons that surround the atoms in your skin and the electrons in the object you're “touching” repel each other due to their negative charges. This repulsion is governed by electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature.

So what’s actually happening when we “feel” something?

Our nerves are exquisitely sensitive to force. When our hand gets close to an object, the repelling electrons between the surfaces generate an electromagnetic pressure. This force is detected by the sensory receptors in our skin, and our brain interprets it as touch. But at no point do the atoms physically collide or merge, there's no actual contact in the classical sense.

To put it another way, what we perceive as "touch" is just the interaction of invisible force fields. The sensation of pressure, hardness, or texture is entirely a result of how our brain decodes the electromagnetic interactions happening at a microscopic level.

This means that the physical world, even in its most familiar forms, is far stranger than it seems. We're never truly touching anything, we’re just feeling the resistance of nature’s force fields pushing back on you. It's a bit like trying to push the same poles of two magnets together: they repel, and you can feel that resistance, but the magnets never actually meet.

This idea is often mentioned in popular science media, like in Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, presented by Neil @neiltyson Tyson, where it’s explained that much of what we experience as "solid" or "real" is, in fact, the result of invisible forces and energy fields. The entire structure of matter is full of empty space; atoms themselves are mostly void. The nucleus is tiny, and electrons orbit it at relatively vast distances, meaning even the most solid objects are mostly empty space on a fundamental level.

So, in the deepest sense, we live in a world where touch is not physical contact, but rather an electromagnetic conversation between our atoms and the atoms of the world around us. We feel without ever truly making contact.

How the Ancient Greeks calculated the circumference of the Earth.

The ancient Greek mathematician, Eratosthenes, accurately calculated Earth's circumference around 240 BCE.

He knew that at noon on the summer solstice in the city of Syene, the sun was directly overhead. 1/

Teachers are entrusted to educate the next generation of American students by modeling respect and integrity.

No child should be trapped in a government run school with a teacher who celebrates murder.

46 years of the Department of Education:

📚 Over $3 trillion in spending
📉 Falling reading and math scores
🏫 Bloated bureaucracy

We don’t need a birthday cake; we need an eviction notice.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

The Democrat government shutdown has forced agencies to evaluate what federal responsibilities are truly critical for the American people. Two weeks in, millions of American students are still going to school, teachers are getting paid, and schools are operating as normal. It confirms what the President has said: the federal Department of Education is unnecessary, and we should return education to the states.

The Department has taken additional steps to better reach American students and families and root out the education bureaucracy that has burdened states and educators with unnecessary oversight.

No education funding is impacted by the RIF, including funding for special education, and the clean CR supported by the Trump Administration will provide states and schools the funding they need to support all students.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

Two years ago, Hamas terrorists carried out brutal, unthinkable attacks on innocent Israelis during the holy day of Simchat Torah. We remember the 1,200 men, women, and children murdered, the families torn apart, and the Israelis still being held hostage. We grieve and pray for our ally Israel. The world must never look away.
