I report good news from the front. Formal Learning is not yet lost! First assignment in World Literature 1: the Epic of Gilgamesh. Wow, okay. Assignment two: compare and contrast the flood story in the Epic of Gilgamesh with the Genesis flood account. No problem there. Assignment three: the Odyssey. Check. Assignment four: the character of Aeneas. Uh, more please. Etc., etc… I suddenly feel the urge for a battle cry!

Impressive… Good news indeed if there’s still a school left somewhere that’s teaching all that!

I’d be interested to hear if the Professor pivots away from the Biblical account to favor Gilgamesh. That is how it was portrayed for me 12 years ago in the Cal State Battlefront. Can I ask if the course surveys the great landmasses after they cover the Days of Noah? What timescope do they jump through? I’d like to know the last literary work on the syllabus. Sometimes the indoctrination comes hardest at the dovetail of the term.

Of course, the curriculum is limited in scope. There’s no doubt that the information is a bit watered down. For example, when I read through the Genesis curriculum, the footnotes are something out of the Scofield Reference Bible, and there are always ideological jabs punched here and there, but nonetheless, it’s still been incredibly surprising to know that “they” do in fact still teach quality information. To say higher leaning is a lost cause is just a bit too dramatic for my taste. As nothing is lost unless one chooses to allow it to stay lost. Indoctrination, what a spooky word. It’s almost like, conspiracy! Ahhh! Run for the hills! Run for your life! I’m currently indoctrinating myself with, Chaucer, and I must say, indoctrination has never felt so good.

The last two items in the course syllabus: the Italian Renaissance; the Popol Vuh.
