Because Universities aren't there to educate, they are there to; Steal your private 'property' (textbooks, fees, union dues etc.) Protect the 'life' to which it is accustomed (Doing absolutely nothing to facilitate your education other than using convoluted language that results in absolutely nothing being said in the duration of an hour long lecture, therein necessitating the purchase of their overpriced tombs of even more convoluted waffle!) And the above two points being firmly sewn up herein, take a f*****g 'liberty' I hope that helps..........! P.s. You're hot, but I'm guessing that's something you already know?

This was my report in High School (Around 2015) I remember giving up because I was lazy to scan and read my references. I thought to myself, "What if there was a KZbin video which is EXACTLY about my report?" And then I found this Thank you Mr. Byrd for saving my life AND still giving me the sufficient content that I needed 5 years later, I still remember everything that you've tackled in the vid You really are a great and efficient teacher Thank you!!

[@pattisummers8342]

Excellent explanation of essential content! After watching this and students taking notes on it, a middle school student could easily teach this lesson. Although Crash Course is excellent, John Green could take a lesson in slowing down a bit. :-)

I learned of these guys in highschool, though at the time found it hard to understand what was so special for. Started learining more about the founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson and learn more about how revolutionary these were in practice. This video though is a great summary of key Enlightenment figures. Very clear and great visual aids.

[@fusioniits5015]

An excellent lesson delivered with great pacing, imagination and clarity. As a visual learner the visual prompts really helped to bring the message home. Thank you.

The french flag back then didn't look like the contemporary one we see today. Although, either way it was wrong.

Someone teaching philosophy saying all kings were absolute and would "tell people what to do" is insane tbh. Most monarchs, especially in pre-modern times, were not and couldn't be absolute rulers. And current states are the most absolutist ones, but justifiably so since they're representative democracies.

Interestingly enough, The social contract would be a secularization of the Protestant Christian covenant theory that came through Calvin and the reformed Christians. You can see a lot of this work in Calvin's expositions of the book of Exodus. Samuel Rutherford in his work Lex Rex is a puritan expression with a bi-covenantal idea attached (the british expression of an earlier expression in vindicae contra tyrannos, likely written by Philippe de Monray. What is utterly important, is that we do not think that many of these Ideas originated in these men here on the board, but rather, that they give particular expressions of already existing Ideas in history (Greece and Rome) yet, without a ultimate objective and universal basis (God) which was a European move away from the history of Christianity that build the west to this point. I'll share my opinion here. The enlightenment thinkers do not get away from religion. They are still utterly religious. They simply exchange theology ideas of God as the center and replace it with 'anthropology' at the center. Which has led us to sad times in our day.
