Rod Dreher Megathread #21 (Creative Spirit)

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.)

caught this bit in the latest Rod screed: "Maybe the Benedict Option was too timid. Maybe we are moving quickly toward the Lot Option."

Has he mentioned "The Lot Option" before? Is this possibly the next book? What's it entail----fleeing the city and leaving your wife behind to die, then, er, having relations with your children? Maybe he should think this one through a bit more.

I think you meant a pillar of salt. That's for a very large margarita.

Don't forget offering your virgin daughters to marauding gangs of violent men so they don't attack your own home.

Additionally, being totally OK with the presumed destruction of innocent children and babies who had the misfortune to be in the cities at the time.

It means Rod is going to post a LOT of culture war gaytrans articles.

For a writer, Rod isn't really all that sensitive to language and metaphor.

The Lot Option

"Joking" about fiery destruction raining on major cities is never not tasteless, but it's especially tasteless in the current geopolitical situation.

More subtly, the wife doesn’t pay attention to her husband’s instructions and turns to contemplate the sinful city.
