I recently reported how a scientist who spent 100 days in an underwater habitat came out of the experience “10 years younger”. That is, certain biological changes, particularly in his chromosomes, effectively reversed his biological clock. But, if living under the sea might extend your life, living in space may
For the last few years, we’ve been constantly hectored to ‘Follow The Science™’. Purely coincidentally, no doubt, The Science™ has an uncanny habit of dovetailing exactly with whatever the latest lefty intellectual fad might be. That’s because The Science™ is not science. But even science ain’t what
Anyone who tells you that the world is going to go “Net Zero” any time soon is either an ignoramus or a liar. Doubly, trebly so, if they try and tell you that it will be cheap and easy. Anyone who’s looked at the power bill or filled their

We are very pleased to announce a new service exclusively for our members. The BFD in partnership with GCo Fuels has created a discounted fuel option. With the government removing the 25c per litre fuel subsidy , and the resulting significant increase in fuel prices from 1 July 2023, we encourage
The dopey Greens have announced a rent-control policy. But they seem to have no inkling that rent-controls have never worked anywhere in the world, unless their idea of a successful rent-control policy is to, in the long run, decrease housing affordability, fuel gentrification and create negative spillovers
Sure, the idea of a space elevator just sounds too stupid to be true. But then, people once said the same thing about satellites. When Arthur C Clarke first proposed the idea of communications satellites, newspapers smirked and asked what would hold them up. As it happens, ol’ Arfur was
First, it was “global warming”, then it became “climate change”. Next minute, it was “dangerous climate change”, then “climate emergency” and “climate crisis”. If you’re bewildered and frightened by all this linguistic prestidigitation, then it’s doing its job. Because scaring the pants off you and stopping you from

As the saying goes, a celebrity’s “transgender” child is like a vegan cat: you know who’s really making the decisions. Especially when adopting a small Sudanese village is so yesterday. For Hollywood, cutting your son’s dick off is the 2023 equivalent of a handbag chihuahua. Megan Fox,
As Judith Collins once said, the more a man assures you of his honesty, the more closely you should watch your pockets. The same is doubly, triply, true of politicians who blatherskite about “integrity”. The Australian Greens, for instance, pontificate endlessly about “integrity” and “getting big money” out of politics
One of the apparently remarkable things about the pandemic was that influenza supposedly all-but disappeared. The official reason is that the novel and deadly SARS-CoV-2 virus ‘outcompeted’ flu and replaced it as a primary cause of death during that time. Obviously, then, it was a triumph of
George Orwell worried that the future would be the government boot stamping on us – forever. Aldous Huxley was more worried that corporate culture would so distract us with luxury that we wouldn’t notice we’d become slaves. Both were right, in very important ways. But, while it’s easy
