Society & Self
To understand others, start with yourself. We explore the psychology of learning, the ethics of living well, and the balance between freedom and responsibility in building a meaningful life.
Historical Context
"Know thyself," inscribed at Delphi, was the starting point of Greek philosophy. Socrates believed the unexamined life wasn't worth living. The Stoics developed practices for living wisely amid chaos. Enlightenment thinkers explored freedom, responsibility, and the social contract. Modern psychology revealed the unconscious, cognitive biases, and the mechanisms of learning. This school stands at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science, asking: What does it mean to live well, both as an individual and in community?
Why It Matters Today
We live in an age of infinite choice and infinite distraction. Behavioral economics shows we're predictably irrational. Social media exploits our psychological triggers. Meanwhile, questions of meaning, purpose, and ethical living haven't gone away—they've intensified. Understanding how you learn, why you act, and what gives life meaning isn't abstract philosophy; it's survival. This school teaches you to design your own mind and take responsibility for the life you're building.
Who This Is For
If you've ever wondered why you procrastinate, why habits are hard to break, or what makes a life meaningful—this school is for you. It's for self-educators, parents, coaches, and anyone trying to understand human nature (starting with their own). It's for those who want freedom but know freedom requires structure, who seek happiness but know happiness requires work.
