There is a major controversy brewing in Canada over a proposal in the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons that schools shift from emphasizing “medical expertise” in favor of teaching “anti-racism” and social justice values.

Because of misguided government policies, health care in America is expensive and inefficient. But it’s always possible to have a system that is even worse. I have often cited the United Kingdom, which has genuine socialism (government employs the doctors and runs the hospitals). However, as part of an ongoing series about “great moments in […]

Nothing comforts people so much as knowing they’re part of the same crowd. It’s a tribal thing rooted in our two million years of brain evolution. You can see this even more clearly when one person is left stranded as the crowd moves on. Surprised, shocked, ill-at-ease, and wondering if she should follow the crowd […]

Winston Peters has suggested that mainstream media were “bribed” by the previous Labour government. Members of the media are outraged. Peters, true to form, is being provocative. I don’t think Peters’ strident tone helps. If Peters wants to get through, then a more diplomatic approach may be better. Aggressiveness merely gets people’s backs up and…

The logic of vaccines had always been very clear. If you were vaccinated you didn’t need to be concerned about unvaccinated people. The disease was their problem. C-19 inverted that logic. Halcyon days were it not for the permanent memory of the Interwebby. From a purely technical point-of-view I was quite interested in the race […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Willie Soon. Maybe the vast majority of sensible students will finally wake up to the idiot fringe, who are making them all look idiots. I would suggest a Bacon Sandwichathon, where they all bring bacon sandwiches into the canteen, and eat them in front of the sad little […]

Scientific American just can’t help itself; it has to keep pounding away at the biological definition of sex, which is based on differential gamete size. Just the other day they published a full article in the “evolution” category, arguing that women hunted just as much as men in ancient times (and in hunter/gatherer societies today), […]
Once again, Scientific American screws up an article claiming that the binary definition of sex is harmful and limiting

Here’s the case for imposing a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages: 1) Obesity is a major public health problem, through its effects on diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, certain cancers, and mental health; 2) Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is an outsized contributor to obesity; 3) Taxing sugar-sweetened beverages will raise the cost that consumers pay, and thus…

A week ago Jay Bhattacharya gave a great talk at the weekly Stanford Classical Liberalism workshop. (Link in case the embed doesn’t work.) He detailed the story of government+media Covid censorship, along with the dramatic injunction in the Missouri v. Biden case. The discovery in that case alone, detailing how the administration used the threat of…

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
