Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

The problem with the evangelical elite...

"The problem with the evangelical elite is that there isn’t one. All too few evangelical Christians hold senior positions in the ­culture-shap­ing domains of American ­society. Evangelicals don’t run movie studios or serve as editors in chief of major newspapers or as presidents of elite universities. There are no evangelicals on the Supreme Court. There are hardly any leading evangelical academics or artists. There are few evangelicals at commanding heights of finance. The prominent evangelicals in Silicon Valley can be counted on one hand. There are not even many evangelicals leading influential conservative think tanks and publications, despite the fact that evangelicals are one of the largest and most critical voting blocs in the Republican coalition. Two domains are exceptions that prove the rule: politics and business."

Where Do I Go to Get My 16,000 Hours Back?

At 6:52 on a school morning, somewhere in your neighborhood, a ten-year-old is standing at the end of a driveway in the dark. His backpack weighs about a fifth of what he does. He ate breakfast in four bites. The bus is late again.

For a long time I thought of that kid as a scheduling problem. Early mornings, long days, a lot of sitting still. Then I sat down and did the math, and it stopped being about scheduling.

Over thirteen years, that boy will hand roughly 16,000 hours to a building. Homeschooling gives most of them back.

Extinction-level?

"In the words of Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida, the midterms were ‘an extinction-level event’ for the Republican party."

Is Suicidal Europe an Ally?

American foreign policy must consider not only the condition of allied nations today but also the direction or trajectory in which they are moving. European leadership restricting freedom of speech and banning entry to peaceful activists cannot be dismissed as purely domestic when it affects American citizens and raises questions about the values on which the transatlantic alliance rests.
