  1. Michigan Daily: Say goodbye to your individuality. “I always thought the phrase ‘be yourself’ was so stupid. Obviously, you’re being yourself, who else could you be? With the rise of TikTok aesthetics, I’ve realized that in actuality, we all are desperate to be absolutely anyone else. The boxes have been created. Go choose one. For the cost of a few hundred dollars and an obscenely high […]

  2. University of Southern California: AI may be making us think and write more alike. “Artificial intelligence chatbots are standardizing how people speak, write and think.

  4. "The Case for Christian Nationalism"
    is a 2022 book by Stephen Wolfe.

    The book argues for #Christian #nationalism based on cultural and ethnic affinity from a Christian perspective,
    and a retrieval of traditional Christian political thought

    Summary

    Stephen Wolfe approaches nationalism as becoming conscious of, and "being for", one's own "#people-#group".

    He argues that #homogeneity within each people-group allows it to more properly pursue the good
    by ordering earthly life toward heavenly life,
    and that while a principal image of heavenly life can be found in Christian worship,
    💥only a Christian nation can provide a complete image.

    Wolfe argues for homogeneity by constructing a theological anthropology,
    positing that humans would have formed separate, culturally distinct communities,
    even if the fall of man had not occurred.

    In addition, he argues that this should be accomplished through a "measured #theocratic #Caesarism",

    a #Christian #prince.

    Wolfe follows early Reformed thinkers, such as Francis Turretin, in
    🧨 assigning the government a role in suppressing outward displays of "false religion",

    -- but not a power to coerce the conscience or inward religion.

    The civil magistrate is tasked with wielding "formal civil power" for the public good.

    He also argues that Christian nationalism is compatible with the tradition of the American founding.

    Reception:

    In a review, Kevin DeYoung of The Gospel Coalition gave the book one star out of five, stating,
    "I understand and sympathize with the desire for something like Christian Nationalism,
    but if this book represents the best of that ism,
    then ➡️ Christian Nationalism is not the answer the church or our nation needs."

    Paul Matzko of Reason magazine called the book "#segregationist",
    stating,
    "Wolfe's ethnicized vision of Christian nationalism is a reminder that, in a post-liberal vacuum,
    ➡️ fearful American Christians have become easy targets for people whispering to take up the sword of the state and smite their foes."

    James Clark of The North American Anglican wrote that "Wolfe's account of revolution could be stronger"
    but he has nevertheless "written something important here,
    something that deserves to be read and contemplated."

    Owen Strachan suggests that ⚠️the New Testament is largely missing from "Wolfe's Thomistic project of political philosophy."

    The book's epilogue has a looser tone and structure from the preceding chapters.
    Reviewers have called it a "#rant" that attacks many cultural and political issues,
    including "#gynocracy"
    (rule by women),
    #sexual #deviancy,
    and the "#globalist American #empire",

    and which calls for banishing or #executing #heretics.

    Reviewers have said that the book calls for #blood-#and-#soil nationalism
