Jan Irvin: Logic, Fallacies & the Trivium

Tony Myers interviewing Jan Irvin following his
appearance at the Free Your Mind Conference

This interview goes into Entheogens, Critical Thinking, Logical Fallacies and the 7 Liberal Arts which are divided into the Trivium ("the three roads") and the Quadrivium ("the four roads").

The Trivium consists of:

  • Grammar
  • Rhetoric
  • Logic

The Quadrivium consists of:

  • Arithmetic - Number in itself
  • Geometry - Number in space
  • Music, Harmonics, or Tuning Theory - Number in time
  • Astronomy or Cosmology - Number in space and time

I also recommend the Peace Revolution Podcast #23

6.    Government / "to control the mind" etymology: http://latindictionary.wikidot.com/noun:mens
from the Latin, mens, mentis, menti, mentem, mente; which are 3rd declension nouns which mean "mind", the ablative meaning "the mind". Gubernare (to control) + mente (the mind) = the root of government (to control the mind).
