Already, folks, there are certain indicators,

leading edge indicators as to a society's decline.

Some are statistical and some are moral,

and typically they tend to cross streams.

There's a story yesterday that caught my attention.

It flew across the Twitters. And it was a story about the CEO of OnlyFans. So OnlyFans is essentially

an amateur porn site. It is where people unclothed for money. It is visual prostitution,

in essence. And according to Business Insider, the number of creators, they're not calling them creators, even though it's just women taking off their clothes on a camera, signed up to OnlyFans surged by about 40% last year, bringing the total to more than $3 million for the subscription platform that mostly features adult content. CEO Amigand told the Web Summit in Rio Rio de Janeiro last week, we've noticed a huge uptick in creators as well as fans joining the platform. We attribute that to OnlyFans is very much a global business. We're in over 100 countries. The company is now setting its sights on Latin America and Australia to further increase its numbers. Gans said, we're looking at growth for the business. Latin America is a huge part of that. Apparently, Only fans had revenues of close to $1 billion in 2021. And the owner of Onlyfans, again,

him Lee, America is a huge part of that. Apparently, OnlyFans had revenues of close to $1 billion in

2021. And the owner of OnlyFans, again, Leo Redvinsky, has made more than $500 million

from the platform since 2020. And of course, the parent company was taken. He took control of that

in 2018. So why is this an important story? Well, as it turns out, a civilization in which women are incentivized to prostitute themselves on camera also tends to be a civilization in decline. So there's a biblical idea that women are holier than men. And for all the talk about the Bible being sexist, there is a deep root biblical idea that women are holier than men. So, for example, in the book of Exodus,

when it comes to the sin of the golden calf, the idea is that the men participated, but the women did not.

And the notion that women are the guardians of a society's holiness makes some sense,

because obviously men, when left to their own devices, are not oriented toward children.

They don't stick around. There's no biological imperative for a man to stick around to raise his child in the same way that there is a connection between a woman and a child.
