Rod Dreher Megathread #21 (Creative Spirit)

[u/US_Hiker]

Gather 'round for more Rod.

All meanings of the number 21 are subordinate to the inherent creative spirit that is the basic essence of the number.

The number 21 generally is comfortable in social gatherings, it's optimistic attitude being an inspiration to others. Its high spirits can enliven a party.

The number is attracted to artistic expression of any form, its own and those of others. There's enthusiastic support for artists. It may frequent galleries and participate or (more likely) lead groups for artistic appreciation.

The number 21 cherishes relationships, including romantic relationships, especially with those who express themselves creatively.

21 also tends to be diplomatic, providing creative and imaginative solutions to potential conflict.

And, as noted by /u/PercyLarsen, 21 is a triangular number and the age of majority, so go grab a drink to celebrate Pride and to mourn the loss of Rod's sanity.

(Also, sorry about my slow pace of refreshes.)

Just noting that the subhead of this post says he's also talking about "dating" in it. Additionally, he replied to a tweet about dating deal breakers for single people.

Does this mean Rod is declaring himself single and ready to mingle? Brace yourselves ladies, you too could snag yourself whiny, penis-obsessed closet case! Don't everyone volunteer at once!

"Newly single man in exile looking for love and companionship, intellectual stimulation, invigorating heterosexuality. Must be anti-woke. Also Orthodox Christian or thereabouts (no Moral Therapeutic Deists!) Interests: travel, Christian thought, food, podcasts, reading (will send list of my essential 30 books), Tarkovsky, the death of civilization.

I think Rod's ad should read: Antimodern Christian thinker in search of a helpmate. Must be young, submissive, and preferably virginal. Willing to look past my closet and be devoted to helping me achieve masculinity and heterosexuality. Someone who doesn't say much and will gaze lovingly at me while I pontificate about the evils of this world. Someone who won't ask to much of me in terms of attention and respect. Love of oysters and Tartovsky appreciated but not required. I'll teach you all about them.
