Eric Berger got an all-expenses-paid trip there, courtesy of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, to see what’s going on there.
About That Ocean-Warming Study
They screwed the pooch. And we’re not all gonna die from overheated oceans. Good for Nic Lewis. And this demonstrates once again of the lack of value of peer review.
Funny how, like “mistakes” in reporting on politics, these errors always seem to go in one direction.
The BFR
…is under construction at the Port of LA.
The Mental-Health “Experts”
Time to dethrone them.
Yes, the gun grabbers want to grab the guns, while ignoring the real common element here. And experts in general, whether in nutrition, climate or otherwise, seem to be highly overrated, which is one of the things that gave us Trump.
Claire Lehmann And Quillette
An interesting story on a provocative, but necessary web site.
Reason At Fifty
Matt Welch describes the history of the magazine. I just finished Bob Poole’s new book (which he graciously gifted me a signed copy last time I had dinner with him and Lou) on the history of not just the magazine, but the foundation itself. It’s also, incidentally, a frank autobiography.
The Gender World
Camille Paglia says it’s time for a new map. As always, a fascinating interview with La Camille.
The Sex Recession
A long but interesting dive into why young people aren’t getting it on. Among other things, it confirms my long-standing suspicion that ubiquitous porn is making for a lot of terrible and painful sex for women, because too many men think that what is depicted is normal, or expected. And the sad thing is that many women apparently just accept that as the way it is. Anyway, modern dating sounds awful, in part thanks to #MeToo, particularly on campus.
Exo-Mars
Bob Zimmerman examines the planned landing site.
“It’s OK To Be White”
No, the phrase is not racist, but objecting to it is. Great trolling of the SJWs.
