It adds beautiful nuance to being Ungovernable, a trending concept.

Ungovernable can mean being an anarchist (slash libertarian).

Ungovernable to me, means Free. Redeemed. Make in God's Image. Loving God, and Loving Neighbors, no matter the cost. Or as Jesus says, only a fool starts building without counting the cost first.

"Is Socrates’ example still relevant today? Are our current activists following in his and MLK’s footsteps?"

Relevancy is subjective to an objective.

By all appearances it would seem not.

The West's greatest thinkers inspire us to re-think and criticize conventional morality. Great article, happy MLK Day!

Human nature has been improving by familiarizing ourselves with the works of the Classics and the Bible. I am glad to see Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy remind us the wisdom of ancient thinkers that founded our Civilization.

So, what happened to Dr, Kings I have a dream. Not the color of a man’s skin but the content of his character? It went into the file drawer labeled DEI.
