Engaging in sex that could create a new human life confers responsibilities

Engaging in sex that could create a new human life confers responsibilities. We owe the children we create a life, love and care.

Being pro-personal responsibility means that I want people to pay for the costs of their choices. �

Im not “pro-life”. Im pro-personal responsibility which is pro-reciprocity or “do not impose costs on others”.

Plants and animals have to die for me to live. Im ok with killing evil people. Im ok with people dying for what they believe in or because of their bad choices. �

Our tendency is to consume up to the holding capacity of the environment.

Fiat currency, government debt, abortion & the pill have made it possible to consume not just the current environment, but our children’s future.

Change the environment & we change consumption habits. �

Restricting abortion (and birth control) realigns the incentives for sexual consumption. The costs of consumption are now harder to pass on to the state and the unborn child.

Reciprocity begins to be restored in the sexual market place. �

We hear a lot about the terrible sexual market place that so many are facing in 2022 and the only good solutions I hear are “we need fathers to step up”.

“Step up” to do what?

One of the things we fathers must do is realign the incentives dating people are facing. �

Restricting abortion is a good start but its not enough.

There is still work to do and it is going to take years to accomplish. �

When we say “fathers must step up” we dont just mean “raise your children better”.

Stepping up includes restoring our leadership position in society and its key institutions. Or in many cases building new ones.

The older, mature men must lead again.

This fall Im very proud to be a part of the 21 Convention Patriarch Edition.

We will show you how men can build a better world for your children, this is THE convention to attend.

(Im the mystery man at the bottom. DM me if you are attending.)
