Your moat isn't Claude or ChatGPT. It's what you feed them. Data you own, voice nobody can replicate, knowledge in your niche. Tools go commodity in 12 months. That's permanent.

No one wants to replicate Florence. We want to adapt and improve the timeless urban tech of aligning many small multifamily along narrow streets. Not rocket science. People did it for thousands of years before car based zoning

Excellent event with Jason Pedicone of Paideia Institute (@Paideiainstitut) and Meriwether Academy (@meriwetheracdmy) last night! Pedicone talked about his experience pursuing a PhD in the Classics at Princeton, founding Paideia Institute 15 years ago, building it to a $5M/yr operating budget, now with offices in New York and Rome, that teaches "Living Latin" in Paris, Rome, and other cities across Europe, as well as literacy programs in the US and online. He discussed his experience as a founder and how we can build our organizations and movement in Nashville, which has a rapidly growing community of cultural entrepreneurs (as I've written previously, links below). Thanks to Warren Steury (@nwsteury) for putting on another great event and to Jason Pedicone for flying out to speak to our group! Thanks to the 30 men from Nashville who came out and to the others who came in from out of state—including 4 from North Carolina who were inspired to start their own group based on the strength of the community they saw here! Detailed notes on his speech and our discussion over Meriwether's signature Jeffersonian-style dinner below. ——————— ➤ Founders' passion: Founders need to have a "fire", a passion that can sustain them through hard times. He said that Meriwether's founder Warren Steury has this passion, which is what first struck me about him as well. ➤ Father Reginald Foster: Before founding Paideia, Pedicone lived in Europe working with Father Reginald Foster. He taught them Latin for 7 hours per day, 6 days per week, and on the seventh (Sunday), they toured the ruins and famous sites from Western history, interwoven with Latin lessons. Foster had an amazing view of culture. He showed them that Western culture and history was a beautiful tapestry woven across the ages. Understanding it was the key to living the good life—and that the Latin language was the "binary code" needed to understand this multi-generational conversation. Foster "lit a fire" in him. The Father inspired him to become a professor of classics and then to start Paideia Institute where he aimed to replicate Foster's passion and vision, teaching Latin and touring ancient sites, for thousands of students across the globe. He has been "paying it forward" ever since. ➤ Academia During his PhD in classics at Princeton University, Pedicone became disenchanted with academia. He was shocked that many scholars did not seem to like the classics. Their scholarship was not motivated by a desire to learn to live well but rather to win the academic "publish or perish" rat race. He completed his degree in the early 2010's, in the "proto-woke" era—just before disruption of speakers and political violence started occurring on campuses. Instead, scholars and professors tried to make studying the classics about race and gender, like critiquing his essays for not saying how classic texts speak to racial justice today. He began Paideia Institute during his 3rd year in graduate school. He taught a "Living Latin in Rome" program with other scholars, including Alex Petkas (@costofglory) who hosted an excellent event on Plutarch's account of Lysander at @meriwetheracdmy earlier this year. ➤ His organization was cancelled in 2019 Disgruntled employees accused him and the organization of being "racist"—a charge they levied against anyone who loves the classics and Western civilization too much. Universities and others started cancelling their affiliations with him and attacking him personally. This was a traumatic experience for him. But he has since built himself and Paideia back up. Sometimes, people who he doesn't even know come up to him at academic conferences and hug him, apparently feeling guilty for how he had been treated (which they themselves may have encouraged or participated in at the time). ➤ Demographics & Cultural Change He wants to help rebuild culture outside of academia. There are thousands of people with PhD's in the humanities who are not working in the field (often, they are underemployed in other jobs they need to do to make money). He wants to discover them and then find a way to activate them to teach humanities in their local communities. This would create a national network of skilled people to help rebuild our culture. A problem with university (beyond woke) is that it teaches classics to only a small range of people, mostly rich kids in their early twenties. There is so much untapped potential in reaching the rest of the population, which is what he aims to do. ➤ Political Heterogeneity His organization is ideologically and politically heterodox. This can cause tensions, which he has to manage. But it is also good because debate makes the group more intellectually robust. It also allows the organization to reach more people. But he emphasized the need to have strong internal structures. He has a no BS policy. He gets rid of toxic employees quickly. His 2019 cancelling changed the internal culture and inspired this policy. He described himself as a "liberal who was mugged by reality" and as someone who was "drifting towards Christianity." The table applauded his religious exploration as many people at @meriwetheracdmy events are culturally conservative and Christian (though there are several non-believers such as myself). ➤ Paideia Institute now Paideia has built up an impressive program with: - Regularly run tours in Greece, Paris, Rome and other cities in Europe with $5M annual operating budget. - More than 40 literacy programs based on Latin (mostly aimed at low-income areas) - An online learning curriculum, Telepaideia, used by many school to teach Latin, Greek, and Classical Humanities. - Regular online lectures with contemporary scholars, such as one on Stoicism and Marcus Aurelius (which is where I first met Pedicone). ➤ Fundraising Fundraising cannot be outsourced. The benefactors want to talk directly to the CEO. Pedicone regularly sits down with billionaires and has to convince him why his cultural project is more worthwhile than the 100s of other causes they consider donating to. How does he do this? He said you must make your project seem like their project. Nobody likes being told what to do. It seems easier to raise funds in American than Europe. Americans have a culture of charity, of grassroots efforts to fix the community, while many Europeans seem to think that "the Government will do it." We should be grateful for American charitably and work with donors and everyday Americans more synergistically. ➤ Institutionalization As Paideia has grown from an entrepreneurial experiment to a small institution, his role has changed. It was more fun to pursue creative ideas, but now he often has to spend time doing mundane things, like updating the Employee Handbook. We must not shirk our duty to do the "boring" stuff as founders, as this is often what is needed to truly have an impact. ➤ Technology He believes the future is bright for the humanities. He is optimistic that technological advancement will help advance culture. It will free up a lot of time which will open up the opportunity for a cultural renaissance—but, conversely, the opportunity for culture to degenerate into TikTok/Netflix bingeing or much worse. ➤ Entrepreneurial Projects in Nashville There is a very strong entrepreneurial cultural movement growing in Nashville (as I've written about previously, links below). @nwsteury concluded the dinner by asking people to share their projects to the group. Some included: - Josh Centers (@jcenters) who just launched Chapter House (@ChHouseBooks), an imprint of Passage Press (@PassagePress), that publishes beautiful classic books for children, especially well suited for homeschooling parents. - The CEO of @StandSure, a new company that creates lapel pins and other merchandise for culturally conservative groups. - Many others at the table were pursuing writing projects, podcasts, and other avenues for cultural change. ——————— Thanks again to Warren Steury and Jason Pedicone for putting on this great event! Excited to see what we can build in Nashville and across the country over the next few years!
An honor to have Dr. Jason Pedicone, founder of the Paideia Institute, come visit us in Nashville and speak at our @meriwetheracdmy dinner last night. Jason has built an incredible organization teaching Greek & Latin worldwide and spreading western cultural values through education along the way. Thanks to every one of our 34 attendees who showed up, coming from 3 different states (TN/AL/NC) to be here for the event. Everyone showed up well dressed and ready to learn. Really an impressive group of gentlemen. God willing, the future is bright.
