Illegitimate Scholar

In this episode, I talk to Art of Purpose and he shares his journey of going from a Public school teacher to self employed millionaire. Dino and I discuss Teaching, the issues with public school, mindset, and finding your purpose. Art of Purpose is a social media consultant, and I learned a lot of my Twitter knowledge from him. I highly recommend personally his courses and communities and find him on X spaces every Monday if you want to grow on X/Twitter.

1. Centralization
   1. Definition
      1. the action or process of bringing activities together in one place.
      2. the concentration of control of an activity or organization under a single authority.
2. Hunter-gatherers, state of nature
3. Any higher centralization requires some level of political organization

      2. Standardized systems of weights and measures:
      3. Standardized currency:

      5. Great Wall of China:
5. After Roman Empire collapses the next thing I want to concentrate on is the modern era, beginning with the era of “absolutism”
   1. Feudalism in Europe was decentralized
6. Phillip II of Spain
   1. He established the Royal Printing Office in Madrid in 1566

   3. Standardized, highly effective
8. He built new roads and canals to connect different parts of Spain and to facilitate the movement of troops and supplies.
   1. Physical location very important
   2. China, Rome, USA, always important, speed matters
9. He expanded the Spanish bureaucracy and created new government departments
   1. Always
   2. Replaces feudalism
   3. Put loyal people in those positions
      1. #patronage
10. He established a postal service that linked Madrid to all major Spanish cities
    1. With new roads, postal service allows control of larger area, utilize those roads, make information reliable and control
11. All only possible with marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella of Castile in 1469
    1. Leads into Spain
12. Modern era
    1. All the centralization in the modern era mirrors the past
    2. Railroads allowed for even faster transportation
    3. Telegraph for faster information transfer
    4. Ship technology faster transport
    5. Regional languages disappear as people are incentivized to speak the most economically viable language
13. Post-Modern and the future
    1. That brings us to today
    2. Internet is an insane force
14. Lifestyle centralization
    1. People in Namibia, Indonesia, Myanmar can see life in the upper classes of North America, Europe, East Asia, Middle Easst
15. Globalism and the New World Order

Identity, Multiculturalism, and Societal Shifts
Written by AI for Keywords and Simplicity. (Do not blame me for how it sounds college liberally)
Prudentialist Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePrudentialist
Prudentialist Substack: https://theprudentialist.substack.com/
I, Illegitimate Scholar, together with the Prudentialist discuss identity, multiculturalism, and the evolving societal dynamics of 21st century America. We discuss the effects of mass immigration, the nuances of assimilation, and the profound impact of demographic shifts on politics and culture. We critically address the commodification of identity, the role of media and institutions in shaping perceptions, and the influence of identity politics on contemporary discourse. Through an in-depth analysis that includes historical injustices, governmental policies, and the implications of globalization, we shed light on the challenges and opportunities presented by a multicultural society. Our discussion aims to provide a profound understanding of the intricate relationship between personal identity, societal structures, and cultural changes, offering insights into the ongoing debates around diversity, inclusion, and the shaping of public policy.

Books and Audible:

Audible AUDIOBOOKS, free trial:

https://amzn.to/3TJOARA"American Nations" - Cultural history of the US focused on distinct cultural areas and their affects. Link: https://amzn.to/3P6lTwn
The three big anthropology books I recommend :
"Guns, Germs and Steel" - https://amzn.to/3qI271S
"Dawn of Everything" Graeber/Wengrow - culturally left wing big (pop) anthropology/history book. Good for diversity of thought, many good references here. - https://amzn.to/47Fl6uH
"Sapiens" - Globalist/WEF but a decent take to understand their position. -https://amzn.to/47FEW95
Other reccomendations:
"The Korean War" -Bruce Cummings, history of colonization of Korea and the context of the nationalist/communist wars of East Asia. - https://amzn.to/3smlLB3
"Oracle Bones" - Book on China from a journalist's perspective in the 90s, exceptional and if people want to read one book on China I recommend this one. - https://amzn.to/3YOOfzE
"1491" - Mann. So much of what we know about Native Americans is tainted by influence of Europeans (by the time Europeans were writing a lot of stuff down, especially in English 200 years had passed since first contact and almost everyone was dead and the cultures were irrevocably changed, even if they didn't meet Europeans yet). The lost history of pre-Columbian western hemisphere is a glimpse into so many unique cultures that challenge our assumptions of human nature as well as history. - https://amzn.to/45luIsM
