Parallel Polis Podcast
A “Parallel Polis” is an independent society built outside the control of corrupt institutions where truth, faith, and freedom can thrive. Join Andrew Torba, founder and CEO of Gab, for raw, unfiltered, stream-of-consciousness reflections on technology, culture, and building parallel systems for the glory of God.
The Parallel Polis Podcast isn’t scripted or polished, it’s real. It’s one man thinking out loud about where the world is headed, what we’re building to resist it, and how faith shapes it all. From Silicon Valley to the digital wilderness, Andrew shares insights from the front lines of the fight for free speech, Christian technology, and cultural renewal.
Think of it as a weekly fireside chat for builders, believers, and anyone tired of the noise.

The Neo-Amish Mindset
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Neo-Amish Mindset introduces a new framework for Christians navigating our AI-saturated world. We explore how believers can engage thoughtfully with technology while preserving human dignity, community values, and spiritual well-being.
• Rejecting both blind technological optimism and total rejection in favor of deliberate, principled engagement
• Combating "apocalyptic fatalism" that views AI as inevitably leading to dystopia
• Learning from the Amish approach of evaluating technology based on its impact on community and faith
• Applying technological discernment to education, economic life, and social structures
• Building parallel structures that preserve human dignity in an increasingly AI-dominated world
• Resisting transhumanism and other ideologies that undermine the Christian understanding of humanity
• Embracing our role as stewards of creation while acknowledging technology's moral dimensions
• Creating communities where faith and reason coexist and technology serves human flourishing
The path forward requires neither Luddism nor capitulation, but dominion through discernment—using technology as tools for Kingdom purposes while resisting its dehumanizing effects.
