How do you protect your children’s minds in an age of constant misinformation? In this episode of Dads Against the Narrative, Jack Nofel and Justin Kyser (Primal Dad Truther) sit down with Brett Pike, founder of Classical Learner, to discuss the "red pill" moments that changed their lives and the essential concept of Intellectual Self-Defense.

Brett shares his journey from being a history major to realizing much of his education was fraudulent, and why he now focuses on teaching young people how to identify logical fallacies and reconstruct their worldview. We dive deep into the challenges of "De-schooling Dad," navigating family relationships after "waking up," and why teaching your kids entrepreneurship and critical thinking is the ultimate way to take back power.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The "Aha" Moment: How a conversation about the food system led to a total breakdown of the status quo.

• Intellectual Self-Defense: Why your brain needs "antiviral software" against societal programming.

• De-schooling Fatherhood: The struggle and necessity of relearning everything to be a better guide for your children.

• Navigating Cognitive Dissonance: How to "seed" the truth to family and friends without destroying relationships.

• Empowering the Next Generation: Why we need to raise "good billionaires" and masters of multiple trades.
