You’re unhappy because you’re not meant to be living like this.

It’s not just that your brain isn’t optimized for the modern world. The modern world sparks constant danger alarms in your brain. And it all runs counter to your biological imperatives.

You can’t live like this.

There’s a lot of people dunking on Trads today.

Keep in mind the modern view of traditional life has skewed into a parody where men beat every member of their family every day for fun and women cooked 18 meals by themselves each day for 34 kids

Few Americans remember our roots.

This is neither a defense of Trads or a condemnation of those who oppose them.

Neither group tends to have a clear vision of what’s behind us. History is distorted if you don’t know where to look or how to assess

The future will be new systems to fulfill old needs in right ways

And that’s what I’m teaching. Old ways, old needs, old biology — new systems, new approaches, new patterns. Take from the old to build the new.

Not postmodernism. A true rebirth of human society into the best fit for our biology. Because we can’t live with ourselves like this.

Sometimes I teach that through gruff jokes and slap-in-the-face memes. This makes us take stock of what just happened. And why we oppose those ideas.

Sometimes I point out people who backlash hard to show how invested some are in resisting biology. It’s become a cult.

My purpose always is to educate. And I play with that line. I won’t always be on the side of the line that makes you comfortable.

If I’m not, call it out. Let’s talk. What I say is meant to make you think. I don’t want anyone to accept what I say with a blank mind.

Ask. Think.

I’ll keep joking and pushing and playing and educating. Join in. Let’s have fun. Let’s find what we all need to keep, and build new systems that support our biology instead of rejecting the concepts of genetics and evolution.

Let’s fix our society and our families together.

I don’t want to go back to the Neolithic Age with stone-age farming communities.

I want our needs for Neolithic closeness and community met in a new way with healthy systems that feed us instead of exhaust us.

Not postmodern decay. A new age of attachment and fulfillment.
