Christianity Today reports on the rise of what they call the “Plato-loving, homeschool elitists.” But, do we really want to raise elitists? Does pride and elitism really help us, at the end of the day, or is it counter productive to all that is good? We develop a little more on what Parmenides, Zeno, Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Sophocles, and Euripides really taught. We pull apart their worldviews and point out that their meta-ethic and metaphysic was fundamentally flawed from the outset. The futile thinking of the Greeks destroyed their big empire in 7 years, and brought them to birth-implosions, abortion, and sexual dysfunctionality. . . sort of like the Western world today.
