The appeal to “scientific consensus” is fraught with

At the World Economic Forum, former US Vice-President Al Gore recently railed about impending “rain bombs” and “boiling oceans” due to global warming. Last year UN Secretary-General Guterres accused
For almost all of human history, if you’d had to ask your fellow humans what a woman was, they’d assume you’d taken leave of your senses. The answer was too obvious to even bother with. Alas, in our modern, “progressive” age, a great many apparently intelligent, certainly

[This piece is an excerpt from The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty.] The notion that the world can be replicated and replaced by a simulated reality says a great deal about the beliefs of those who promote the metaverse [treated in the previous chapter]. The conception is materialist
It was enforced in Western countries with the same ferocity, meticulousness and categorical unforgivingness with which the hijab is forced upon women in Islamic countries. Never before had the government induced a trend in society so invasive and so disruptive to human life, and never had such an intrusion been
As you should be well aware by now, I’m pretty chary of “social science” research. Especially when they just conveniently agree with our preconceptions. But when studies upend commonly-held, “Well, everyone knows that” stereotypes, then they’re already potentially more interesting. One recent such study looked at how

I can’t reinforce enough my Second Law of the Media: When an article claims, “science says…” or “new study shows…”, assume that it doesn’t until proven otherwise. Almost every single day, without fail, we see more and more proof of this adage. The legacy media, for all their
These are not good times for science. As perhaps no other time since the Enlightenment, science is under attack from the dark forces of ignorance and superstition. What makes it so much worse is that the attack is being led by ideological zealots from within. The only analogous situation was
Another day, another dodgy study, over-hyped by a sensationalist and scientifically illiterate legacy media. I hate to break it to you, despite what the headlines have been gushing, but thylacines (the “Tasmanian Tiger”) probably did not survive “into the 1980s and beyond”. Even I’d like to believe otherwise,
The world has been going to end in the next ten years since I was a boy. In fact, if I had a dollar for every time the planet faced imminent death “Unless we act in the next five years”, well… I’d be rich enough to be a climate
For all the seemingly endless, breathless headlines about ‘Earth-like planet discovered!’, usually accompanied by fanciful ‘artist’s impressions’ (ie made-up pictures), the reality is a lot grimmer – and weirder. The sort of people who like to bandy about pseudo-scientific tosh like the so-called “Drake Equation” (which
