A student can now complete modern education in the West without reading a single word of Homer, Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Virgil, Augustine, Aquinas, Dante, Chaucer, or Milton.
This is how you erase a culture, and it's working.
If schools and universities won't teach the Great Books, we must form our own reading circles independently.
This is why we set up the Athenaeum. Below are some of the texts we've read, or intend to cover soon. Join our reading group if you'd like to study the great works in dialogue with others.
We're about to start The Brothers Karamazov.
If you've been on the fence about joining our group, now's the time. You do not want to miss this.
We are reading it over the next 6-7 weeks. First discussion is on August 4, covering Books 1-4.
Take out a paid subscription if you'd like to support and join the discussions directly — it makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this.
You'll get:
- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next

When someone wants to play the pronoun game with me I astral project onto another plane and start playing a different game, one that I know they'll lose. I don't use any pronouns.
ChatGPT CEO Sam Altman speaks about our future in San Francisco, California
“You will have no freedom, you will have no agency. It will be a perfect surveillance state. There will be no privacy. And that's what you're going to get — You'll just kind of live at the service of the AI giving you material wealth”
So they expect us to give up all privacy, all freedom, be under constant surveillance, be at the mercy of their AI at all times but in exchange we’ll have a bunch of material junk….
No thanks
🚨WOW!!!
A 77-year-old Florida man staged a one-man protest against a Flock camera, blocking it's view by holding a 12-foot POOL SKIMMER against it.
He was caught on camera being interrogated by police and a man driving by says, "What's your name? I'll bail you out!"
Then multiple strangers showed up and brought him cold drinks, an umbrella for shade, and even snacks.
When asked why he was doing this, the 77-year-old said:
“I have a constitutional right to my privacy. I’m a law-abiding citizen, and I don’t need anyone sticking their nose in my business. And if they do, I’m going to chop it off.”
@AtRealBen Aliens arent real in the sense of the word. Yes they are "alien" to us, but that's because we've lost our way. Aliens are demons and more people need to understand that to get back on the path.
