Trivium vs. Prussian

The Established Power Structures (the Deep State, Globalists, WEF, the Elites, etc.)  use the Trivium education method against those of us who were trained under the Prussian Education system. Add to this, most Americans are not schooled in recognizing logical fallacies which are heavily used by our news media, experts and fact checkers. The plebs have no meaningful defense against this.

The Trivium System teaches us that we gain our authority through truth; the Prussian System teaches we gain truth through authorities, or Truth produces Authority; Authority produces Truth…

• Trivium Method:
  • Part of classical education, derived from ancient Greek and Roman systems, formalized in the Middle Ages.
  • Consists of three stages: Grammar (learning facts and language), Logic (critical thinking and reasoning), and Rhetoric (persuasive communication).
  • Emphasizes individualized learning, intellectual development, and preparation for civic life.
  • Prevalent in early American education, especially in colonial colleges (e.g., Harvard, Yale) and private academies, focusing on Latin, Greek, philosophy, and theology for elite students.
• Prussian System:
  • Developed in Prussia (modern Germany) in the late 18th century under Frederick the Great, refined by Johann Fichte and others.
  • Features state-controlled, compulsory schooling, standardized curricula, age-based grading, teacher certification, and a focus on discipline, obedience, and industrial workforce skills.
  • Designed to produce uniform citizens and workers, with less emphasis on critical thinking or individualized learning.
  • Introduced to the U.S. as a model for public education to meet industrialization and immigration demands.

The shift in U.S. education from the Trivium method (a classical education model rooted in grammar, logic, and rhetoric) to the Prussian system (a state-controlled, industrialized model emphasizing discipline, standardized curricula, and workforce preparation) was not a single event but a gradual process spanning the 19th century, with significant developments between the 1820s and 1870s.
