Yes. This masterclass was originally developed as a foundational module for the premium AUTONOMY portfolio. We’re offering it for free because the Trivium is the essential prerequisite for anyone who wants to reclaim intellectual agency and navigate today’s information landscape with confidence. The AUTONOMY Course of Action offers a deeper dive into mastering these skills.

Over the last century many education systems shifted from teaching “how to think” to teaching “what to do.” The Trivium — a method for learning how to learn — was largely side-lined. This masterclass restores that practical methodology.

The masterclass is approximately 60 minutes. Richard Grove and Paul Verge break down the 3‑step Trivium method (Grammar → Logic → Rhetoric) and show how to apply it as a practical “Mental Operating System” for real problems — from fact‑checking news to learning complex skills quickly. The AUTONOMY Course of Action not only teaches this operating system but also shows you how to apply it effectively to create opportunities and achieve financial independence.

The masterclass is a complete, standalone training. At the end there’s an optional “soft next step” for those curious about deeper AUTONOMY programs, but there is no obligation. The tools in this trifecta are yours to keep and use immediately.

Not at all. While the Trivium has a long history, this session focuses on concrete application. You’ll get hands‑on examples and tools you can use immediately: how to collect the right facts, identify contradictions, and act with reliable judgment. The AUTONOMY Course of Action is a 12-week program designed to fast-track your learning by combining live lectures, integration exercises, and real-world applications. Many students report noticeable improvements within weeks.

Yes. Graduates report improvements in decision‑making, faster self‑learning, better project execution, and clearer conversations in professional and personal contexts.

Immediate access to the 60‑minute video plus three downloadable assets: the Trivium Cheat Sheet, the Visual Blueprint, and the Logical Fallacies List — all designed for fast implementation. You will receive the building blocks of autonomy and success, which are central themes of the AUTONOMY Course of Action.

We respect your privacy. You’ll receive the masterclass and a short, practical follow‑up email series to help you implement the tools. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Richard Grove — forensic historian, host of the Grand Theft World podcast, founder and Navigator of the AUTONOMY Course of Action — is the lead educator behind the Trivium material. Paul Verge is a filmmaker and educator who applies these methods across disciplines and offers practical examples and field tests in the masterclass. Together they combine historical method, practical application, and step‑by‑step tactics.

Use the Cheat Sheet for quick reference during research, the Visual Blueprint to map any problem across fields, and the Fallacy List to test arguments you encounter. Short, repeated practice drills make these tools intuitive.
