Intellectual Takeout
What We Do At Intellectual Takeout, our team comes to work each day with a strong desire to help restore and uplift our nation. We connect with millions of Americans weekly by publishing a variety of articles daily, sharing them through extensive social media and email channels. We also host events, provide insights for traditional media programs, and deliver speeches to audiences of all sizes. We’ve noticed a significant demand for our work. As one of our readers, Eleanor, expressed it: “Reading your posts daily is like finding water in a desert.” Our purpose is clear: to create a safe space for individuals seeking truth, to rediscover the wisdom and traditions of the past, to engage in thoughtful discussions, and to apply these insights in their lives and communities. Our Editorial Standards Intellectual Takeout serves as a platform for commentary, featuring both original opinion pieces and republished content from various sources. We often highlight different perspectives, and the opinions we share may not reflect the views of our staff or parent organization. When we cover breaking news, we clearly mark those articles with a tag to differentiate them from our usual opinion pieces. Through our website and social media, we strive to be a “safe haven for rational discussion,” inviting people with differing opinions to seek truth together. We are committed to providing accurate information and encourage our readers to inform our editors if they spot any factual inaccuracies. We will promptly and publicly correct any mistakes we find. We maintain a clear separation between our editorial choices and the influence of our donors and board members. Our editorial team operates independently, and while donors may specify where their funds should be allocated (such as internship programs or public lectures), they do not influence the creation or publication of our content. Our Nonprofit Organization Intellectual Takeout is a program of the Charlemagne Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization focused on laying the intellectual foundation for a cultural revival. To find out more about the Charlemagne Institute, please click here. We rely on the generosity of our donors to support our mission and sustain our programs. Nearly 10,000 individuals across the nation support the Charlemagne Institute and its initiatives, including Intellectual Takeout.

Despite differences in customs and circumstances, the rhythms of home and family life have remained remarkably unchanged in much of Western history. The Roman paterfamilias joined his family for their daily meal, told stories he’d heard on the street or from Rome’s history to his children, and worshipped the lares, or household gods, at the tiny altar in his home.

When it comes to children, we’re more than ready to acknowledge that screens have had a negative impact on their well-being. Jonathan Haidt’s “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness” is proof. As of April, that book had spent 52 weeks on the New York Times’ best-seller list. But when it comes to screens and adults, we’re less willing to acknowledge our problems.

‘Tis the season for weddings, and chances are the next several weeks will find many of us sitting in a lovely venue, decked in our best, watching a man and a woman pledge themselves to one another for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health. The good news is that more of these sweet couples may remain true to their vows. Statistics from the Census Bureau show that U.S. divorce rates have dropped from 10.0 in 2008 to 7.0 in 2022.

Every morning I’m up before dawn, enjoying some coffee on my front porch, and thanking my Maker for another day – I’ve reached the age where that gratitude is heartfelt. Two or three times a day, I play a couple of games of solitaire. Often, I’ll read a few pages from some book I know well. Once or twice a week, I’ll pick up the phone and call my good friend John to grouse about politics and the news.

There’s an old Yiddish proverb that says, “Mann tracht, un Gott lacht,” which translates, “Man plans, and God laughs.” Woody Allen rehabbed it for his audiences: “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”My plans over a long life have surely provoked gales of laughter from the Almighty. In college, I changed my career ambitions three times, casting them all to the winds in the end.
