I rather suspect that the fad for “indigenous maths and science” among Humanities academics is driven by their own inability to comprehend maths and science. Anyone can be a maths genius, after all, if your mathematics doesn’t involve counting past ten — twenty, if you take your shoes off. And
Some kids have all the luck. Like most kids, I was a dinosaur fanatic. I still am. I was lucky enough, at least, to go on a bona fide fossil dig, in my early teens. I’ve fossicked a handful of minor fossils since. But nothing like little Lily Wilder’
As I’ve written before, so many conventional wisdoms are built on foundations of quicksand. From the firmly held belief in “Settler Colonialism” in the New World to the endlessly asserted claims of low immigrant crime, so much that we’re furiously finger-wagged is “fact”, is anything but.

The space race was as much about geopolitics as it was about science, adventure, or the spirit of man, or whatever palaver Kennedy was prone to speechifyin’. The simple fact was the Soviet Union had humiliated its Cold War rival by launching the first satellite, then the first human into

One of the biggest conceits of the left is that they’re on the side of ‘science’. Yes, the people who brought us the panicked failure of Covid policy, and who furiously assert that men can get periods and have babies, are totally all about ‘The Science’. The most egregious
In a werewolf story I read recently, the protagonist (a werewolf) remarks on her new-found senses. Especially smell: “Urine. So much urine. It never occurred to her how surrounded by piss she was at all times every time she stepped into the woods.” Think on that next time you go
The list of failed climate predictions is nearly 130 years old, and just keeps growing by the day. From the New York Times’ 1895 claim that Geologists Think the World May Be Frozen Up Again, to the Royal Meteorological Society’s 1938 claim that global warming “is likely to prove

There are some must-see events unfolding in our skies in 2024. Unfortunately, for those in the Southern Hemisphere, some of them won’t be seen, such as the upcoming total solar eclipse over North America. Still, there are a few night-sky spectaculars coming up for us southerners. If you’re
New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science nzdsos.com Oxford University’s Principle Trial Collaborative Group published their trial of Ivermectin in outpatient Covid-19 patients in the Journal of Infection on 29 February 2023.

Only a mainstream media journalist could argue that a decline in general intelligence is a good thing. Probably because, if everybody else dumbs down, the numbnuts in the media might finally have something to feel good about themselves. Of course, we, ah, ‘more experienced’ folks always like to think that
