Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Or, since this is probably an adventurer (going by days?  Almost must be), it could be based on the level of reading skill.
Or perhaps this is a reason to add the learning skill to adventure mode, and it could be a combination of that and reading.
