The idea that “reading” is in and of itself an intellectual activity, regardless of what one reads, is of course a symptom of our civilization’s growing illiteracy.

One reason young men are depressed is that even life at “the top” is so lame. The richest man in Normandy in 1096 was a killer who sold everything to conquer the Holy Land in the face of certain death. The richest guys in the USA in 2025 are dorks doing this.

The whole "we don't build beautiful things anymore" problem is a lot bigger than just building beautiful things. Even if you manage to build, preserve, or restore a beautiful place -- it will be full of people with no self-respect, and the architecture of the corporate slop

Anyone surprised that Jeff Bezos’ New Years Eve party looks like a janky crypto influencer’s Miami weekend must have forgotten when William Shatner tried to have a human moment with him about his experience in space and Bezos went to shake a bottle of champagne instead…

Full grown adults that can’t swim, cycle, skate, backpack, take a gap year, vacation, play instruments or speak multiple foreign languages. Just a lifetime of hustling and trying to leave survival mode. These are subtle poverty metrics that no one is ready to talk about.

that’s bc they truly understand the price of community is inconvenience. some people in our generation treat connection as something to be offered only when it’s easy, when they feel like it, when they’re free or when they have the capacity. our grandparents showed up regardless.

No let me rephrase. Men caught two pedophiles and instead of reporting and taking their asses to jail, they organized a fun fist match for content purposes. Men’s disposition to sexual violence of girls really saved me from engaging in “false accusation” rhetorics because even

I’m starting to doubt the conclusions of race science

My mom was really serving us home cooked meals every single day…… younger me didn’t realize how much work and how much of a blessing that is

Men who are asked to endure humiliation as though it were proof of their moral maturity are being initiated into a civilisation that no longer recognises masculine pain as fully human. This is followed by a broader cultural disorder; the present moral atmosphere increasingly

Steve Jobs famously said his kids didn’t use iPads. Brené Brown highlighted this on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO. She’s been in rooms with tech billionaires and platform founders. When they’re asked what kids should study today, the answer is coding and physics. But when the
