    Valuing the “Trivial” Things in Life0

As depicted in the chart below, the poll shows that patriotism, religion, family, and community have largely plummeted in popularity in recent years, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Perhaps not surprisingly, the

  • Is the American Dream Dead?

    Is the American Dream Dead?4

    A white picket fence, 2.5 kids, weekend barbeques—this vision was once ingrained in the American psyche. The American Dream imagined this way was portrayed across media and permeated American culture. Today, America feels like a different place. The claim that America is evil—unforgivably and systemically racist, sexist, and hateful—runs counter to this idyllic picture of

    Virginia Makes It Legal for Kids to Play Outside1

    Children in Virginia can now play outside without their parents getting investigated for neglect. Imagine that! Sunday night, Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed what is colloquially called the “Reasonable Childhood Independence” bill — and was formerly known as the Free-Range Parenting bill. It passed both houses unanimously.

    Toxic Feminism and the Assault on Traditional Women3

    It’s Monday, March 27, and tomorrow evening I’m having supper with a trad-wife and her trad-husband. It’s really a trad-family, with four little ones, ages 7 and down, receiving a trad-childhood. The meal won’t be trad—the trad-wife is quite the gourmet chef—but this trad-guy, who is me, will enjoy it no matter what. We’ll say

    How To Navigate Suffering With Wisdom3

    I have always been enamored by the book of Ecclesiastes. It is difficult to pin down precisely why this is, but it has something to do with how seemingly averse it is to the contemporary thesis that happiness is, or ought to be, the highest aspiration of the human experience. I do not subscribe to

    Is the Teen Mental Health Crisis a Spiritual Crisis?3

    Ask any TikTok user about the app’s “For You” Page, and many will say that it “knows them better than they know themselves.” Between its manipulative technology and connection to the Chinese Communist Party, it’s unclear how much damage TikTok is doing to American society.
