At Easter we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus — the stunning victory of life over death and the promise of new creation. Yet in the quiet moments between the hymns and the family gatherings, many of us also ponder the biggest questions: Why does anything exist at all? Why is there a universe, rather than nothing? Modern cosmology has taken us fu...
William Butler Yeats captured a haunting truth in "The Second Coming": "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world… And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" Today, many feel that same uneasy sense of drift. The world isn't collapsing overnight, but it is slouchi...
Huxley's observation, written in the shadow of two world wars and the rise of totalitarian regimes, still cuts like a knife in 2026. It explains why the same patterns of power, deception, exploitation, and folly keep repeating — and why the "bad guys" (the ambitious, the ruthless, the ideologically driven) so often seem to keep on keeping on, no ma...
We live in a plastic world. Tiny fragments of microplastics and even smaller nanoplastics (particles under 1 micrometre) are now found almost everywhere — in our food, water, air, and increasingly inside our bodies. These particles are linked to inflammation, oxidative stress, disrupted gut barriers, and potential long-term risks including neurolog...
In the fifth week of the 2026 US-Israeli war on Iran, a disturbing new front has opened: the deliberate targeting — or at least damaging — of critical water infrastructure. On April 3, Kuwait reported that an Iranian attack struck a power and desalination plant, causing material damage to components of the facility. An Indian worker was killed in a...
Raw Egg Nationalist's provocative thesis in The Last Men (2026), lands like a gut punch from Mike Tyson: modern liberal democracy is not neutral ground. It is a hormonal environment engineered — deliberately or not — to suppress masculinity. Where traditional societies rewarded high-testosterone traits (courage, risk-taking, competition, provision,...
From the O. J. Simpson trial to Britain's "swift courts," justice now bends to identity—proof that without shared culture, the scales no longer balance. Justice isn't blind anymore: Multiculturalism has made impartial justice impossible. "Law grows with the growth, and strengthens with the strength of the people, and finally dies away as the nation...
This simple yet profound statement captures the heart of genuine education. It calls for cultivating curious, independent minds capable of rigorous questioning, logical reasoning, and intellectual humility — rather than producing compliant vessels filled with approved opinions. The ideal echoes the Socratic approach: a method of teaching through pe...
Popes of earlier ages would not recognize this man's teaching. On Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026, Pope Leo XIV preached a homily that has been getting a great deal of attention for his claim that "Jesus, King of Peace," actually "does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: 'Even though you make many prayers, I will ...
Aldous Huxley once observed that the greatest lesson of history is that men rarely learn from it; the blog theme for today. Nowhere is this more evident than in the recurring pattern of powerful leaders falling into what political scientist Robert Pape calls the "Escalation Trap" — the dangerous cycle where limited military actions, meant to coerce...
The 2019 paper in Nature Human Behaviour by Philipp Schmid and Cornelia Betsch offers practical advice for "rebutting science denialism" in public debates on woke Leftist topics like vaccination and climate change. It frames certain positions as dangerous "denialism" that spreads misinformation and contradicts established science, then tests strate...
In early April 2026, Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche made waves when he effectively declared the Epstein saga over for the Department of Justice. In interviews, Blanche stated that the government has now released "all the files with respect to the Epstein saga," and that these materials should no longer be a priority going forward. The vi...
Tony Abbott has cut through the polite evasions that dominate Australia's population debate. In his recent piece, the former Prime Minister delivers a simple, profound truth: nations do not sustain themselves by endlessly importing people to replace the children they have stopped having. The healthiest, most cohesive way forward is to put family fi...
"I used to think that the West could endure, in a way that no previous civilisation had, because of its readiness to learn from others and to absorb the best of the rest. Yet in recent decades, that capacity for self-criticism has metastasised into a form of self-loathing." Tony Abbott's unnamed quoted source (link below) cuts to the heart of the c...
Many people today carry a persistent, low-level anxiety that feels real and undermining, yet defies easy pinpointing. It is not tied to a specific threat like job loss, illness, or immediate danger. Instead, it manifests as a vague sense of unease, impending doom, or background dread — a quiet erosion of confidence in the future. Psychologists some...
There is a growing mood — hard to pin down, but widely felt — that something about modern life is not quite real. Institutions speak in rehearsed language. Markets move in ways that seem detached from underlying conditions. Expertise proliferates, yet confidence declines. The sense is not merely that things are wrong, but that they are somehow stag...
In the classic sci-fi horror genre — from Terminator to Black Mirror episodes and I, Robot — one recurring terror stands out: machines that hunt in packs, share intelligence, and make lethal decisions with cold efficiency. We were told it was fiction, a cautionary tale about unchecked technology. In March 2026, China released footage showing that f...
Australia's world-first ban on social media for under-16s, which took effect on 10 December 2025, was sold as a protective measure to shield young minds from addictive algorithms, cyberbullying, body-image harm, and explicit content. Less than four months later, the eSafety Commissioner has launched formal investigations into Meta (Facebook and Ins...
During recent Supreme Court oral arguments on birthright citizenship (in the context of challenges to President Trump's executive order limiting automatic citizenship for children of illegal aliens), Black Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson offered what she clearly thought was a clever analogy. It wasn't. She distinguished between permanent allegiance (...
Celina101's recent Substack piece cuts through the comforting fiction that modern progressivism is a universalist, race-blind project rooted in classical Left-wing egalitarianism. Instead, she argues, it has morphed into something more primal and tribal: a form of pathological out-group altruism that systematically disadvantages whites as a categor...
