I wrote this with ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini: I want to be the hero Bonnie Tyler sings about. You know, \u201cI need a hero! I\u2019m holding out for a hero till the morning light!\u201d That\u2019s me! Or… that\u2019s who I want to be. What I am is a 59-year-old Jewish convert livestreaming about grooming gangs and Dennis Prager from a garage in a zip code that doesn\u2019t even have an eruv.<\/p>\n
I want to stop traffickers, groomers, satanic pedos, and anyone who tells me I\u2019m \u201cnot emotionally safe to date.\u201d<\/p>\n
But I\u2019m not built like that. I don\u2019t have the jawline for vigilante work. I have the jawline for quoting Ernest Becker and crying to Air Supply. That\u2019s why I loved that Helen Andrews piece<\/a>. That\u2019s the kind of story I want told about me someday:<\/p>\n \u201cLuke Ford once lived in a car in Beverly Hills. Today, he\u2019s a national hero. He stopped a grooming gang and got three Shabbos invites in one weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n Australia handled business<\/a>. They saw a wave of gang rapes and said, \u201cWe\u2019re not Britain. We\u2019ll actually do something.\u201d The cops formed a strike force. Politicians named names. Judges dropped double-digit sentences.<\/p>\n Meanwhile in America, we\u2019re like, \u201cLet\u2019s have a public listening session with stakeholders from all communities before we address this problematic… series of diverse outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n Australia stopped the grooming gangs with territory, with prosecutions, and\u2014let\u2019s be honest\u2014with testosterone. At Cronulla, a bunch of drunk bogans waving Aussie flags said, \u201cThis beach is ours.\u201d Not ideal, not polite, but you know what? It worked. No more rape wave. You can say that\u2019s racist. I say it\u2019s effective zoning.<\/p>\n I want to be like that. But instead of taking territory, I\u2019m asking women if I can eat their leftovers and livestream from their porch. My idea of dominance is sneaking my Village Voice singles ad past my girlfriend\u2019s therapist.<\/p>\n You know what sucks about being me? I know the truth about power. I\u2019ve read Stephen Turner. I know we live in Democracy 3.0, where elites use “expertise” to shut the rest of us up. And guess what? I’m not an expert. I don\u2019t have a PhD, I\u2019ve got a GED in feeling things deeply.<\/p>\n But I still want status. I want women chasing me like I\u2019m the last piece of gluten-free kugel at an LA Shabbos dinner. I want to walk into a Chabad and have someone beg me to bench Gomel because I just returned from war.<\/p>\n Instead I get ghosted by baalot teshuva with good boundaries and podcasts.<\/p>\n I\u2019m tired of being God’s suffering servant from Isaiah. I want to be David with a webcam. A man after God\u2019s own algorithm. I want to walk through Crown Heights and have a lady whisper, \u201cHe\u2019s emotionally regulated… and he\u2019s read Becker.\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019m not holding out for a hero. I\u2019m auditioning to be one. And I\u2019ll prove it\u2014just as soon as I figure out how to fix the mic delay on my livestream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I wrote this with ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini: I want to be the hero Bonnie Tyler sings about.
