The Wicked movies show us that we are probably Post-Postmodern. In Modernism, people made truth claims, which were really power claims in disguise. In Postmodernism, people thought if we undermined truth, we would have more equal power.

The fertility cult is as old as human civilization itself, and it’s usually complemented by a masculine cult of militarism. This is why, even when we put "Christian" in front of it, the results don't change. It's a fertility cult ... and a death cult.

Empathy: according to Elon Musk, it's "a bug in western civilization." For several evangelical influencers, it can be "toxic," an "enticing sin," and "emotional sabatoge" ... and it's why women can't be trusted with power.

Despite its novelty, within a few decades this interpretation had become the accepted narrative among those who wanted to push back against the modern innovations of feminism and "recover biblical manhood and womanhood."
