Fantastic to see my three worlds framework in David French's subscriber only newsletter this week. Folks like French, Russell Moore & Tim Keller all engaging with it shows the extent to which is it is becoming the key framework for understanding the modern US religious landscape.

A friend told me his kid’s school sent home a letter that a group of 13yo boys started a gang devoted to male domination. I asked if inspired by Andrew Tate. He told me his 13yo daughter says all the boys her age know Andrew Tate.

What they were saying about Elon's pay package when it was originally awarded to him - people thought there was no way he could hit the metrics and that it was just a stunt. He increased Tesla's value by 1000%. Again, the rule of law is increasingly a joke in the USA.

This is one of the many techniques used to manipulate men. It uses a false dichotomy between "self-sacrificing" or "selfish." In this schema, men have no legitimate interests of their own and are purely instruments to be sacrificed for other people.
