Andrew Torba explores the concept of the "parallel polis" as a solution for Christians navigating the challenges of modernity and artificial intelligence. He shares insights from his new book "Reclaiming Reality: Restoring Humanity in the Age of AI," which has sold thousands of copies in its first weeks despite the challenging publishing landscape.
• Original concept from Christian dissidents in communist Czechoslovakia who built alternative institutions outside state control
• Christians today face similar challenges from hostile mainstream institutions
• Key areas for building parallel structures include education, economic independence, and media
• The strategy involves protecting children's minds while engaging with and fighting against modern culture
• Demographic advantage: traditional Christians are having children while secular progressives largely aren't
• Christians must develop better support networks and patronage systems for each other
• Building parallel institutions is both a refuge and a beachhead for long-term cultural renewal
Check out the full book at reclaimingreality.com, available on Amazon and the Gab Shop. Remember, speak freely, Christ is King.
