In 2023, a group of individuals and organizations, with the most prominent at the time being psychologist, speaker, and writer Jordan Peterson, founded the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC).

Fatherhood Is an Art0

My daughter has intensely blue eyes, bright, cerulean, sky, and turquoise all mixed and glittering in mesmerizing orbs. Life, light, and laughter shimmer there, along with the hints of her own kind of wisdom. Where did this depth come from? Where this character, this soul? She is both mine and not mine. No human achievement

Hollywood can’t make a good movie anymore. This is partially because of its own preoccupation with wokeness, which comes at the expense of artful excellence, but it’s also partially a lack of storytelling genius. The only movies people get really excited to watch these days are smut (“Wuthering Heights,” “The Housemaid”), viral sensations (“It Ends

Recently I watched my two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter at play.

I’m proud to be an American. I write those words because, somewhere along the way, to be a proud American felt more like a confession than a point of pride. In recent years, many Americans have been made to feel ashamed for being, well, American. As we mark 250 years of independence this July, it’s time to

Raising Kids to Keep the Faith0
Some of us may still practice the faith with which we were raised. Others may have fallen away from childhood religion into agnosticism, atheism, or indifference. Still others may have converted to another creed. While all these shifts in religiosity are far from uncommon, one overarching fact remains: Religious practice in the United States over

In recent decades, occultism has grown significantly. In 2025, Pew Research Center found that 30% of Americans make use of astrology, tarot cards, or fortune tellers. But occult and esoteric beliefs, practices, and movements have been a part of mainstream culture – in a more veiled form – for a long time. My investigation into this began when

Emotions Are (Not) King0

We live in a society in which emotions are king. Feel something? Do it! Desire something? Pursue it! In fact, our contemporary age almost seems to chaff at the idea of doing something in which your emotions are not invested. How can you do something out of duty and still “be yourself”?

One of the perennial questions of human nature is the question of purpose, and finding and fulfilling that purpose is often believed to be essential to happiness and contentment. While the personalization of finding one’s purpose may be a more recent phenomenon, the ancient writings of the philosopher Aristotle and his insights into human nature,
