⚠️No⚠️ Elon has not ever responded to my QTs and he may well not do now - but for anyone wanting to know why I give a resounding NO‼️ Here’s why……..and why it goes to the heart of American Independence, unalienable rights and Constitutional Republican self governance in operation. The American Founders’ insistence that man ‘must be neither a ‘dog’ nor a ‘horse’…….’ doesn’t simply refer to a commentary on barbarism, collectivism, tribalism, social status or station - but to man’s metaphysical capacity - his ontological rational and moral agency as a bearer of logos (imago Dei) as codified in the first principles of the Declaration of Independence, which is necessary for the preservation of a free republic. A dog follows commands. A horse may be trained and directed (behaviourist Education Pedagogy and institutional/organizational/managerial procedure, policy etc). But both ‘dog & horse’ are governed externally (tyranny of Hegelian State and the political/ideological warfare of propaganda operations). The Founders explicitly rejected the illegitimate tyrannical notion that man is to be managed through coercion, impulse conditioning, or elite rule. They understood that liberty demands internal governance; self-rule through Right Reason. Man is rational, not because he can calculate, but because he can apprehend what is; reality as it is. Man is moral, not because he obeys rules, but because he participates in the discernment of the good, which is objective and knowable. Therefore, man must be educated not to blindly obey, but necessarily to govern himself; to choose the good because he sees (discerns not projects) it and loves (commits himself to) it. See the Education of the Founding Fathers (Walsh). A ‘dog or horse’ …….a pack animal……cannot do this. They are subjects to be controlled, domesticated, or broken whereas a citizen is not. Talk of man as a ‘pack animal’ negates the Constitutional Republic, negates self governance, unalienable rights and man as a human being. It is the talk of Rousseau’s “savages made to live in cities” and Hobbes’ sophist thought experiment ‘State of Nature’ - the propaganda of its own day and like today, serving State power. The American Constitutional Republic upholds and defends man as a human being in the created order, his created nature with endowed faculties, of right reason oriented under authority and grounded in Faith. This doesn’t serve the political warfare operations does it. There are reasons for that! “Let a man be neither a dog to be taught by beatings, nor a horse to be managed by a bridle.” (John Adams, Discourses on Davila, 1790)

The term "doula" has been commandeered & now Missouri #moleg is funding these new types of "doulas". This isn't your normal crunchy mom home birth doula... And @MissouriGOP reps voted to fund this.

For all those who get their knickers in a twist each time I post on the operational significance of Aristotle & Aquinas re: the ontological understanding of the Declaration of Independence and the Education of the Founding Fathers. Without understanding and embodying this in defence of unalienable rights, self evident truths and defence against the Dialectical Warfare - there is only the tyranny of enemies foreign and domestic.

☠️The Anti-Human Premise of Human Capital Development Look carefully at what this pedagogical model @coddlethis42 shares below actually does. The human person is classified (yep - those ‘neutral’ classification tools☠️) by levels of functioning, measured against prescribed behavioural outcomes (wasn’t B. Bloom the ‘father of OBE’‼️) and advanced towards increasingly collective and interdependent modes of operation. Assimilation to the bor…… through systems & metrics of ‘assessment’. Notice the progression from Individual Processing to Interpersonal Processing and thereby, Interdependent Processing. This is Wundt/Skinner/Stanley-Hall/Dewey etc for the digital age, through mass implementation, monitoring and control tools beyond their wildest dreams. At the contributor level, interpersonal processing is explicitly designated ‘Merge’. (Resistance is fu…… - like hell it is - root out this weaponized pedagogy ffs‼️). The purpose/telos is the destruction of formation of a person capable of independently recognizing what they encounter, exercising judgment and the agency of acting under moral obligation (self governance in a Constitutional Republic). Instead, it is the conditioning and production of a functional post human resource unit whose development is defined by conformity to an externally specified operational model. This Education Pedagogy violates the formation of persons capable of recognizing and answering to reality. It functions as the means of developing, directing and certifying post human (as in - no individual agency) ‘performance’ according to institutional specifications and technological metrics. The post human person (resource unit) is the (raw) material (clay) upon which the (Planners/Conditioners) developmental system operates. That Hideous Strength born out in the Digital Systems deployment. ‘Human capital’ development is not human formation. It is anti-human, post human control and resource acquisition/extraction monitoring & feedback mechanisms. The question is not whether cooperation or interdependence are legitimate human activities. It is whether they remain acts of independently judging persons - or prescribed outcomes by which the institution measures and certifies the post human ‘person’ (in fundamental violation of self governance in a Constitutional Republic). The distinction is between educating a human being and programming a post human resource. at the Founding of the Republic, the Founders warned of this kind of tyranny regarding the subversion of Education, in their statement that ‘Man must neither a horse nor a dog be’. That self governance in the Constitutional Republic was predicated upon the requisite and necessary development to maturity of man’s individual endowed (imago Dei) rational faculties and faithful exercise of that individual agency. How long is America going to continue to fail in the urgent and necessary job of eradicating the Education Philosophy, Pedagogy, Methodology and Practise which destroys its own citizens and its own governance (and Rule of Law) at root‼️‼️
