54% of US adults (age 16-74) — roughly 130 million people — read below a 6th-grade level.
Why is nobody talking about this?
To fight back, we started an online book club to study the great texts of Western Civilization. If the collapse in reading is not addressed now, we risk losing everything.
Every 4-6 weeks, we read a new great work together: we've covered texts like Homer's Iliad, Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, and Don Quixote.
We're about to start reading The Brothers Karamazov.
We are reading the great works slowly, intentionally, and in dialogue with each other.
If you'd like to be part of this, please join our reading group. Consider a paid subscription if you'd like to support — it makes a HUGE difference to the time and resources we can dedicate. We are entirely funded by our members.
You'll get:
- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next

Welcome!
We have high unemployment for US STEM grads. Natives!
Stop ALL H1Bs for 10 years.
Don’t renew existing H1Bs.
Start a campaign for HS kids to go into STEM. There is an entire generation or poor white boys in flyover country that can and will do it IF you give them the opportunity.
Another visualization of the largest, fastest demographic decimation in world history.
If it were done to anyone else, it would be called genocide.
But when it's done to White people, it's called “diversity.”
⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.
Germany was the powerhouse of Europe. Now, it is killing itself. Industrial output is 24% lower what it should be. Mass migration is bankrupting the state and destroying the culture. Thugs beat up reporters who dare ask questions. The Left manipulates guilt to destroy the West.
Robert Putnam - author of the bestselling Bowling Alone and a professor at Harvard Kennedy School (hardly a conservative) - commissioned one of the largest and most expensive studies on social capital to date.
He sat on the results for several years because they challenged the prevailing liberal consensus.
What did he find?
The more ethnically diverse a community is, the less social capital it tends to have.
Specifically, people in more diverse communities trust others less - both people from other ethnic groups and people from their own ethnic group.
They also volunteer less, donate less to charity, vote less, and engage less in community life overall.
Diversity is NOT our strength.
