'They don't wanna kill us yet, they wanna put us all in prison
Of the mind, to make you blind, and distort your vision
Brainwashed, dumbed down, victims of the system
Wake up, third eye, open to this wisdom'

'It was written, acceess to knowledge is forbidden
Doing bidding of the fallen angels to keep it hidden
Take a look around you, breathe in the world we live in
It's a matrix by design not the world we were given'

'They don't wanna kill us yet, they wanna put us all in prison
Of the mind, to make you blind, and distort your vision
Brainwashed, dumbed down, victims of the system
Wake up, third eye, open to this wisdom'

'Our forefathers right now are rolling in their graves
They gave everything they had for the home of the brave
Crimes against humanity, mentally we're all slaves
You look to them for guidance when they're the ones who made the maze?'

'Viruses, huh? They're the ones that made the AIDS
Coronahoax killing people trying to make a wage
Now or never, it's time for Severe to take the stage
Mentally you've been in prison, now it's time to break the cage'

'What's the point of jumping in if you ain't gonna make a wave?
The writing's on the wall since they displayed it in a cave
In Tutankhamun's tomb, it was emblazoned and engraved
The blood of my ancestors flowing raging in my veins'

'Witchdoctors on the beach do a dance to make it rain
I grab the mic and make lightning strike when I create a flame
Stomp the ground, and break it down I devestate the game
You can see the agents clearly when you elevate the brain'

'Bring the dead back to life, this is resurrection rap
Cuz the mind is one thing you ain't protecting with a gat
Give the country back its rights, with the insurrection act
We need to attack the site where the infections at'
Continued below...
'The MSM is complicit, knowingly deflecting facts
Every attack they launch needs to be deflected back
I've got the full Armor of God, nope they ain't affecting that
Mind control is the method time to take the weapon back'

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x
The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x
Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x
The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x
It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
As someone\u2019s who\u2019s read the book, this review strikes me as tremendously unfair. It mostly faults Adler for not writing the book the reviewer wishes he had! https://t.co/pqpt5Ziivj
