@danitreweek thank you, ma'am. As with James Hunter's book on faithful presence and Paul Kingsnorth's book on Against the Machine, alas, solutions elude us far more than our sound diagnoses. I look forward to reading this nonetheless.

I read. I reviewed. I recommend. My thoughts on Carl Trueman’s new book, ‘The Desecration of Man’.

Jennifer Gardener acknowledges here that divorce is a loss for children because they no longer benefit of both parents - the mom and dad, the “yin and yang” as she called it. She’s right.
But then she goes on to argue that after divorce, dad just becomes “mom and dad,” and mom becomes “mom and dad.” But that’s the problem - no one can replace the other parent. A mother can be an incredible mom, but she cannot be a father. A father can be an incredible dad, but he cannot be a mother.
Divorce leaves a real loss in a child’s life, and pretending otherwise doesn’t make that loss disappear. It’s sad to see the obvious cope at the end of this clip.

@buttonslives Just 5 years ago, the AMA said that if kids couldn't get gender-transition surgeries, they'd commit suicide. Now they say it's probably not a good idea to give surgeries like these to kids. What changed? Not a thorough internal analysis, it would see. ama-assn.org/press-center/a…

We have had prior contagions of sociogenic mental illness in the past. But none had the medical, legal, cultural, educational, corporate, and governmental establishments of the Western world propagating them, corrupting science to validate them, deploying coercive power to suppress the speech of those who criticized them and force acquiescence with them, brainwashing children by the millions to affirm them, and by the hundreds of thousands into becoming ensnared in them. This situation is without precedent and involved a collapse of the moral and epistemic integrity of virtually every system designed to ensure that policy is guided by reason and reality.

Obviously not religious. But original sin and living in a fallen world is a genuinely useful and insightful framework tbh
