Not the determining issue, but one sub-theme of the election is that the idea of an accelerationist "tech right" in 2022-2024 was associated with cool rocketry and new military hardware, but once in power it ended up associated with the terrible vibes of the AI industry instead.
I remember when this film came out, and the praise it received from mainstream critics. I continue to find it odd that it can’t be had on blu-ray.
Good news - the heretofore hard-to-find film Into Great Silence is available to stream on Formed, in high quality video. watch.formed.org/into-great-…

Indeed. Christianity is now a hedge against the "sex recession". Weekly sex among married churchgoers has barely budged since the '90s. Among secular married couples, it’s fallen from 64% to 48%.👇🏽

Is there a religious reversal among America's youngest adults?
New Pew: Youngest adults (18–22) are more religious than those just a few years older (23-26):
✅ Attend services: 41% vs. 27%
✅ Pray daily: 34% vs. 26%
✅ Religion very important: 36% vs. 27%
Their attendance even tops the national average (33%).
