Low birth rates, eroded social cohesion, and a loss of cultural confidence – these seem to be the fruits of radical individualism and unthinking cosmopolitanism.</p><p>Today, I&#39;m joined by Jonathan Anomaly to explore a compelling alternative: enlightened tribalism. We&#39;ll discuss why the conservative instinct to preserve distinct cultures and communities isn&#39;t just natural – it might be essential for civilization&#39;s survival. Jonathan brings both philosophical rigor and entrepreneurial insight to explain why some form of tribalism isn&#39;t just inevitable, it&#39;s desirable.</p><p>From the failures of liberal democracy to the promise of reproductive technology, we cover the uncomfortable truths that mainstream discourse refuses to acknowledge. This is a conversation about saving Western civilization by embracing, rather than denying, human nature.</p><p><a href="https://jonathan-anomaly.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Jonathan Anomaly</a> is an academic, a writer, and author of<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Creating-Future-People-Jonathan-Anomaly/dp/036720312X" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> Creating Future People: The Ethics of Genetic Enhancement</a>.
