Just as the Renaissance was born from rediscovering the classics after the Dark Ages, our civilization now teeters on the edge of extinction (AI, nukes, mass loneliness). We need a new Renaissance – not cosmetic “innovation” but a rebirth of meaning, virtue, and shared myth.

We are living in a second tragic age – perhaps the most pivotal in human history – and only a rebirth of classical wisdom and virtue can prevent catastrophe and ignite a new renaissance.

I’m living as Martin Robert Genter because I believe my work is to unite the virtues of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy Sr. — peace and justice, compassion and courage — in our time. —

  • “The Fifth Tragedian.” Build the persona openly: Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Shakespeare — and now the one who writes tragedy in lived form and prose for a civilization at its cliff’s edge.
