John Stonestreet

April 17, 2026

Marriage and family have been reimagined in contemporary culture as capstone achievements to be enjoyed after success, rather than cornerstones on which to build a life.

Understanding the Soul of a Conflict Requires Having One

The war in Iran has exposed two blind spots in the conflict, one diplomatic and one technological, but both share a common root. The regime's ideology is rooted in Shiite Islam, where willing suffering for a righteous cause has cosmic significance, and the hardliners will frame the deaths of civilians as blood spilled to galvanize resistance. The conflict highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the soul of the enemy, and the importance of not outsourcing decisions about who lives and who dies to machines that cannot tell the difference between a military base and a classroom.

Paul Ehrlich: When Bad Ideas Grow Feet and Start Walking

Biologist and environmentalist Paul Ehrlich's catastrophic predictions about overpopulation, made in his book The Population Bomb, had devastating consequences and were later proven spectacularly wrong.

In contrast, human ingenuity and intelligence enabled people to find ways to feed their growing population and access resources, revealing the error of Ehrlich's naturalistic and pessimistic view of humanity.
