About this episode
Orion Taraban discusses the importance of preserving men's culture and the values associated with masculinity in the face of modern social changes.
Men have a culture – a shared system of values like honor, discipline, and duty – that could disappear in just a few generations if it is not consciously transmitted. Drawing on the lived experience of losing my ancestral identity, I argue that masculinity functions as a living tradition rather than merely a biological fact. Modern social forces are accelerating the erosion of masculine norms, potentially leaving billions disconnected from their heritage. If masculinity is a culture, it needs to be preserved.
