Matthias Cicotte, better known to his friends as J. Reuben Clark, is a lawyer, homeschooler, & poster of good tweets. He is developing a series of history books for children based on classical sources (Plutarch's Lives, Caesar's Conquest of Gaul, etc). We discuss:

  • why literally any homeschool arrangement is better than public school
  • carving out room for boys in feminized education
  • the wastefulness of pushing kids (& adults) beyond their cognitive maturity
  • navigating the decline & fall of the empire, the future of BYU
  • the sportsbro, and what can be done about him
