Ross Douthat and Ayaan Hirsi Ali face off against Michael Shermer and Adam Carolla in our latest live debate.
For the past 50 years, to be smart and sophisticated also meant being secular. The New Atheists—Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris—dominated intellectual circles, scoffing at faith as an outdated superstition, a social illness to be eradicated. And for a time, they seemed to be winning. In 1972, 90 percent of Americans identified as Christian. By 2022, that number had plummeted to 64 percent, while the religiously unaffiliated surged from 5 percent to 30 percent. The trend was similar across Europe.
But as churches emptied, people began searching for meaning elsewhere—politics, activism, astrology, and therapy started to fill the void God once occupied. And now, after decades of decline, faith is creeping back. A new Pew study suggests Chr...

You may have never heard of Sarah Wynn-Williams, but that’s about to change.
She’s written a memoir about her nearly seven years at Facebook, the company that has since rebranded as Meta. In doing so, she’s become the company’s highest-ranking whistleblower.
Until around 72 hours ago, the book’s existence itself was a secret. Wynn-Williams, a onetime New Zealand diplomat, was effectively the company’s top envoy to governments around the world. She traveled extensively with Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg—the company’s two top leaders during her time—and her experiences with them often read like pure comedy, a mix of Succession and The Office.
The book, however, is a lot more than that. It’s a shocking insider’s account of working at one of the world’s most powerful companies at the hig...

Have you ever gone on the internet and stumbled onto this combo of words, or perhaps non-words?: Dogecoin. Shiba Inu. Hawkcoin. Bored Ape NFT.
If that sounded like gibberish, don’t worry—we’ll explain. And also, time to start learning, because these terms come out of a new financial ecosystem—the world of crypto, a market that started 15 years ago and is now worth about $3.3 trillion.
This new world has caught the attention of none other than President Donald Trump. Since coming to office, Trump has appointed a crypto czar and floated the idea of a national crypto stockpile. And shortly after Trump took office, he launched his own meme coin—as did Melania. Trump’s coin has reportedly generated $100 million in trading fees so far.
And to top it all off, Trump is taking calls from the biggest names in the business. One of them is our guest toda...

Today we’re bringing you the latest episode of Breaking History, the podcast where Eli Lake goes back in time, in order to make sense of the present.
In the last episode, I told the backstory behind Donald Trump’s plan to declassify every file related to JFK’s assassination. This episode is about how America won the Cold War, with the help of dissidents who refused to repeat their regime’s lies: In the ’80s, the U.S. president aligned with the dissidents behind the Iron Curtain. And those dissidents prevailed. Today, he berates an heir to their struggle in the Oval Office.

It’s been four days since the diplomatic earthquake went down in the Oval Office between President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. The world is still feeling the aftershocks.
In Europe, leaders have been jolted into action. Ukraine’s European allies, including British prime minister Keir Starmer and French president Emmanuel Macron, met in London on Sunday to forge their own peace plan and agree on additional support for Kyiv.
In Moscow, officials are celebrating Trump’s approach to the conflict—and his foreign policy more generally. “The new administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. This largely coincides with our vision,” said a Kremlin spokesman. Russian state TV described a new world order with Trump in the White House.

Over the past year, right-wing parties across the West have been sweeping elections: Donald Trump in the United States, Javier Milei in Argentina, Giorgia Meloni in Italy, Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, and now, Germany.
Last week, 83 percent of Germans went to the polls—the highest turnout since the Cold War.
The Christian Democrats, the country’s center-right party led by Friedrich Merz, won. But that’s not the big story. The big story is that the right-wing populist party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), came in second place with nearly 21 percent, the strongest showing since WWII.
There is a single reason why. It’s not the economy. It’s not the war with Russia. It’s not climate change. It’s immigration.
And I’m not talking about jobs or wage deflation. I’m talking about the fact that over the past decade, Germany has s...

Alex Karp is many things: a cross-country skier, a long-range shooter, a tai chi expert who might be the only man who knows how to wield a sword but doesn’t know how to drive. He’s also a collector of extremely prestigious degrees. His PhD thesis was called “Aggression in the Life-World: The Extension of Parsons’ Concept of Aggression by Describing the Connection Between Jargon, Aggression, and Culture.”
Since 2003, he has also been the CEO of Palantir, a software and data analytics company that does defense and intelligence work. Simply put, it’s a company that stops terror attacks—while also helping make sports cars go faster and pharmaceutical companies build better drugs.

A lot of people are wondering if things in Los Angeles would look different if Rick Caruso had won the mayoral race against Karen Bass in 2022. If he had been mayor when devastating fires began in the city last month, could he have prevented them from consuming about 40,000 acres—an area twice the size of Manhattan?
At the time Caruso ran, many quietly supported the billionaire real estate mogul—scared to come out publicly for the white Boomer billionaire against the candidate (a black woman and a former physician assistant who happened to travel to Cuba eight times in the 1970s) who was backed by Barack Obama and celebrities like Shonda Rhimes and Ariana Grande.
But disaster has a way of clarifying things. And many—including the LA Times owner whose paper endorsed Bass—are expressing serious buyer’s remorse.

Running The Free Press is Bari’s hobby, but her true passion is being a yenta. And one thing Bari has learned from talking to young singles is that there is a total breakdown of sexual relations these days between men and women.
Some blame social media, dating apps, or the alleged feminization of men. But Louise Perry blames the sexual revolution. In 2022, Louise wrote this for The Free Press: “The sexual revolution isn’t only a story of women freed from the burdens of chastity and motherhood. It’s a story about the triumph of the playboy.” This argument is the crux of her book, The Case Against the Sexual Revolution, which has just been adapted for young adults—A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century: The Young Adult Adaptation of ‘The Case Against the Sexual Revolution.’

“Sex must be taken seriously,” argues Louise Perry in the introduction of her upcoming book, A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century. A good old-fashioned feminist, Louise believes that casual sex is not, by and large, good for women; she made that case in The Free Press’s first-ever live debate, and in her explosive debut book, The Case Against the Sexual Revolution.
Her follow-up, out March 10, is “the young adult adaptation” of the earlier book’s argument. In it, Louise takes apart the assumptions of liberal, “sex-positive” feminism, which have been absorbed by so many young Americans. She comes to radical yet sensible conclusions, like: Not all desires should be acted on. Sex is better when you’re committed to your partner. Hookup culture is popular with men—but that doesn’t mean women have to participate in it.

Fourteen years ago, Amy Chua published Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. It was received less like a book and more like a nuclear bomb. Here are some headlines from the time: “Why I Will Never Be a Tiger Mom.” “Why Amy Chua Is Wrong About Parenting.” “Amy Chua Is a Circus Trainer, Not a Tiger Mother.” “The Human Race Needs Elephant Mothers, Not Tiger Mothers.” “Amy Chua's Recipe for Disaster and the Externalized Cost of Book Sales.”
Then, just as the publicity around Tiger Mother died down, Amy came out with The Triple Package, about why some ethnic groups succeed. People called her racist. Then she came out in support of Brett Kavanaugh's court nomination in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal (before he was accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford). Afterward, people accused her of misogyny and grooming. And she was almost forced out of Yale for it. ...
