About
Pushing Back is an intellectual project that reads the way people push back against one another as one of God’s laws in human society. It brings together three works: a book that grounds the law, a magazine that tests it field by field, and a video series that carries it to a wider audience.
One distinction governs everything in it: pushing back is a descriptive law that tells us what happens, while cooperation is a normative principle that tells us what ought to. The aim is neither to glorify conflict nor to deny it, but to understand it, so that we become a party to the contention rather than its subject.
