The Purpose of Our Group
There is a crisis of fatherless households in the United States.
"According to data from 2022, there are approximately 18.3 million children across America who live without a father in the home, comprising about 1 in 4 children (U.S. Census Bureau, 2022)." - Source: America First Policy Institute.
One reason why Jordan Peterson reached such levels of popularity in 2017 was due to a phenomenon of being a kind of "internet dad", who told young people to clean up their act, clean their room, not to apologize if they don't mean it, not to feel bad for their own ambitions, that they have something singular and unique to contribute to the world, to slay the dragon as a meaningful path in life on a hero's journey, to adopt responsibility as an antidote to the suffering that is always part of life (and thereby making the inevitable suffering of life tolerable and meaningful), and not to interrupt children who are skateboarding, among other pieces of advice.
So why not formalize the collective advice of dads who have been there and done most of what's generally required in life, which is too broad to make into a list. Suffice it to say, this group is an attempt to discuss the important aspects, and the fun aspects of how to make life easier, more profitable, and generally the way it should go.
