The ascent of Western Civilization was not a random process. Western societies began flourishing when they discovered and adopted ideas that aligned with reality. . Progress happens when humans adopt ideas inline with reality. Societies that don't perish. [Insert image of south vs north korea]
In the same way that an airplane For an airplane to fly it has to obey the three principles of flight. Any attempt to fly that disregards these principles of reality will fail. In the same way that an airplane has to adhere to the physical principles of Newton's laws of motion and Bernoulli's principle.
But for humans to correctly interpret reality, they must be able to think and freely.
A civilization can not survive unless it's citizens defend the ideas, values, and principles that underpin it. But the first order is to know which ideas, values and principles are worth defending to begin with.
- But knowledge is not evenly distributed. It's easy to end up hating your ideological opponents, but not productive. The goal as such should be to try and change minds. As hard as that is to do. Which brings us to condensing ideas as elegantly as possible into pithy statements and memes. Take the big, the abstract, the intimidating, the time consuming and package it in easy to understand forms.
- We in the West are standing on the shoulderes of giants. We are so fortunate to have been born in the West. But with this privilige comes the civic duty to maintain and improve on the legacy of the past. And to do that, we must educate people on what advances societiy and what regress it.
- At the core of progress is rise in knowledge. For knowledge to grow, humans must be free to think and speak freely. They must be allowed to criticise bad ideas.
- Western Civilization is currently being attacked by the rise of multiple very powerful and very bad ideas at the same time.

A force multiplier** is a concept from military strategy that refers to any tool, tactic, technology, or factor that significantly enhances the effectiveness, efficiency, or impact of a given force (e.g., a team, army, or organization) without proportionally increasing its size, cost, or resources. In essence, it "multiplies" the output of what you have, turning a small input into a disproportionately large result. Think of it like leverage: a small effort yields big gains.
In the context of military strategy, **force multipliers** amplify a small force's impact exponentially, turning a handful of elite operators into a catalyst for widespread disruption. For the U.S. Army Special Forces—better known as the Green Berets—this manifests in unconventional warfare (UW), where a single 12-man Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) can infiltrate a hostile country, ignite asymmetric chaos, and destabilize a much larger enemy without direct, large-scale U.S. involvement.

- How can I help uncover hidden people that have a lot to contribute to the intellectual field but who are currently not using their voice?
- The founding fathers were leveraging privacy to influence opinion as they were anonymously writing letters
- Is there a way that I can scale this?
Is there a scalable business model?
