Family & Fatherhood is where GritCult's self-improvement doctrine lands. The gym, the money and the discipline are justified, in the end, by a wife, children and a bloodline worth continuing. Over the years his tone moves from demographic analysis to blunt instruction: marry, have children, stop making excuses.
Views
The clearest statement of motive is aspirational rather than private: what drives him is "to become a man worthy of my future children's admiration" [1]. Fatherhood is treated as the test that turns a man into an adult, and avoiding it as a way of staying a boy indefinitely. As he puts it, when men refuse to have children, they inevitably become children [2]. The rest of the doctrine bends towards this point. Training, earning and self-discipline are means; a family is the end they serve, and a man who chases the means forever without reaching the end has, in his framing, missed the point of the exercise.
His earliest posts on the subject read like sociology. In 2018 he predicted a grim old age for millennials, listing the breaking down of the nuclear family, a lack of familial cohesion and rising divorce rates [3], and he wrote about birth rates, divorce incentives and the heritability of traits. By the mid-2020s the analysis had become prescription. Marriage is defended as a cure for paralysis: too much optionality is a bad thing, and marriage "locks you in and makes you work instead of delaying" [4]. Commitment is valued for the same reason he values discipline. It removes the exits, and a young man with too many options, in his view, simply never starts.
Choosing a partner is treated as a decision about the next generation rather than about romance. He advises men who want children to pick a mother that is intelligent, adding that a degree is not necessary but is a signal, and credits the principle to Lee Kuan Yew [5]. Bloodline language runs alongside this. A man inherits obligations as well as genes, and some men carry generational curses that must be broken "so that our children don't have to take the load" [6]. Legacy here is less about fame than about what is handed down, good or bad, and the duty to improve it first.
He also worries about how boys become men at all. Men once had rituals and rites of passage to mark the line between man and boy; modern society has none, so boyish traits carry on into adulthood, producing "man children" [7]. Part of his answer is story and example. He quotes C.S. Lewis approvingly: since children are likely to meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage [8]. Read together, the two posts suggest that heroic stories now have to do some of the work the old rites of passage once did.
Recurring themes
- fatherhood as the purpose behind self-improvement
- marriage as a lock against endless optionality
- choosing a partner for the next generation
- bloodline, inheritance and breaking generational curses
- rites of passage and heroic stories for sons
