Remus and Romulus Started a Village with Their Friends

Abandoned, Rescued, and Raised Outside the System

Born of royal blood but targeted for death, the twins Romulus and Remus were abandoned on the Tiber River. They were famously rescued and nursed by a she-wolf, then raised by a shepherd named Faustulus and his wife.

This meant they grew up outside the established political order, bonded to each other and to a tight circle of shephe...

This is a lecture about building the cities of the future. More specifically: the core principles behind social cohesion and long-term success - What makes a society actually work? We’ll draw from Ken Wilber, Aristotle, the American Founding Fathers, and good old common sense.

I. Integral Thinking (Ken Wilber)

I was recently talking to my aunt about a woman who became a “trad wife.”A stay-at-home mom making sourdough and proclaiming ...

There is a very real dating crisis today.Men feel it. Women feel it too.

Some of you did well back in high school or college — maybe you were attractive, mildly popular, or solid in your circles. But now? Even with enormous effort, you can’t get a decent match. The few that do come through often aren’t right… or are downright catastrophic.

Why?Because of community collapse.

And this will spark a new kind of revolution — not centralize...

AI is advancing at 300% a year, global tensions are rising, and we are entering an age of collapse — war, hyperinflation, and social breakdown. But this isn’t Doomer hype; it’s the most transformative moment in history. This pressure forces us to ask the big questions we’ve forgotten: What is God? What is the purpose of life? What is sacred? What is family, community, virtue? My vision is the ReTribalize Project — not a hippie comm...

Today, I explore a powerful theory of how individual consciousness evolves—and how, as it spirals upward, it gives rise to entire cultures and societies. More importantly, we’ll look at how this framework can help us orient ourselves toward growth, purpose, and building the kind of world we actually want to live in.Apply for inner circle and travel with us: https://kristianbell.com/inner-circle-applicationApply to join the Men's A...

Nationalism once held society together—it gave people identity, purpose, and a place to belong. But in a post-nationalist world, those pillars are crumbling. What takes their place? Community. In this episode, I explore how we can build decentralized tribes that offer real connection, meaning, and resilience in an age of fragmentation.Apply for inner circle and travel with us: https://kristianbell.com/inner-circle-applicationApply ...

In this episode, I sit down with Brennan to explore the legacy of the great academies—from Aristotle’s Lyceum to the artistic circles of Renaissance Florence. We unpack how these learning communities shaped culture, cultivated virtue, and gave rise to transformative ideas. More importantly, we ask: what have we lost—and how can we rebuild these spaces of shared purpose in a distracted, disconnected world?

If you've ever dreamed of living in a village with your closest friends—building, creating, and thriving together—this episode lays out the new model to actually make it happen.

Most intentional communities fail because they’re built backwards: buy land first, struggle to fund it, then try to attract people. I’m flipping the model. This is the ReTribalize approach—start with the brotherhood and the economic engine, then build the vi...

Spirituality is direct relationship with sacred. Religion is shared spiritual practice

Religion must address the DEEP questions of life:

* What is a good life?

* What is death?

* How do I best face death?

* What is sacred?

* What is purpose of life?

* What is God?

In my pyramid (see on YouTube) the 3 levels give us a map to facing these questions.

People can agree on level 1 and 3 pretty easy if it's communicated well: A belief in the trans...

The essential qualities of a leader…

* He knows where he is going. Confidence.

* He has fun and efficiency getting there. Competence.

* He is emotionally intelligent.

* He has force of personality. An edge.

If you notice, these are the qualities of an attractive man in general. For me, masculinity and leadership are synonymous.

Yes, there are many other qualities of a good man and good leader. And I believe any “formula” is insufficient....

The Retribalize Project is about building networks, communities, and, ultimately, a startup state. To me this is the most worthy goal possible: creating human flourishing and high culture.
