C.S. Lewis
By discarding objective morality as mere sentiment, modern society breeds men without chests and unknowingly surrenders the human soul to an elite class intent on treating humanity as raw material.
The human chest acts as the indispensable liaison between the intellectual head and the visceral belly, requiring trained emotional sentiments to regulate animal appetites.
True human flourishing relies on the Tao, a universal doctrine of objective value where objects and actions inherently merit specific emotional responses like reverence or disgust.
Modern education actively starves students of these noble sentiments by teaching that all values are merely subjective, leaving them defenseless against propaganda and their own base desires.
