Topic: Council Of Night

2 chapters across the catalog

The discussion traces modern technocratic control back to Plato's "The Republic," which proposed a "Council of the Night" as a secret oligarchical government. Plato's concept of the "Noble Lie" is presented as a necessary religious or narrative myth used by the ruling class to maintain social order. The "Philosopher King" model suggests that only those with high-level mathematical and self-control training are fit to rule.

Guest host Jay Dyer explores the ancient origins of secret societies, tracing the concept of a "shadow government" back to Plato’s *Republic* and *The Laws*. Dyer explains Plato's "Council of Night" as a group of elders running a super-state through deception and the "noble lie." This historical framework is presented as the foundational model for modern intelligence agencies and the "deep state."
