The global decline in birth rates, often termed a "fertility crisis," has sparked alarm among policymakers, economists, and commentators like Elon Musk, who warn of its economic and societal consequences. A 2025 Sky News article, drawing on a United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) survey of 14,000 people across 14 countries, highlights that the cri...
Human cultures are vibrant tapestries of values, beliefs, and practices, each unique yet bound by a shared impulse to endure across generations. In their 2025 paper published in Psychological Review, Cory Cobb, Ph.D., and colleagues propose the cultural continuity hypothesis, asserting that humans are universally motivated to preserve key aspects o...
The Left are of course correct to portray Trump as a loose cannon. Imagine being on a ship, on the deck, and a huge bit of steel starts rolling unpredictably, well, that's Trump. While previously Trump saw a clear security threat posed by students from China, many on CCP scholarships, now he has proclaimed the standard diversity line of enrichment ...
I strive to report on health issues of relevance to an older population, personal bias being ancient myself ("known as the ancient one," by my youngest grandchild, referring a Marvel Cinema character), and also as our readership tends to be the older set, which is mighty fine by me. Anyway, to today's business, which is about a simple strength test...
While I am not impressed with Trump's present war-monger behaviour, which is set to produce I believe a disaster, and his claim that he decides what constitutes America first (no, Americans decide this, not a narcissistic puppet president), I am impressed by the fact that nearly one million illegals have left under the self-deportation program. Whi...
"Following up on a series about how city life is killing us, a brief insight into how pollution changes brain structure: The results show that ambient benzene (per interquartile range increment of 0.30 µg m−3) is associated with elevated risks of dementia (hazard ratio, 1.18; 95% confidence intervals, 1.09 to 1.28), major depression (1.09; 1.03 to ...
UK judges have made the Public Order Act as a "de facto blasphemy law," with two courts using the act to convict two individuals for burning Qur'ans. In the past there was never any use made of sections 4 and 5 of the Public Order Act 1986, to prevent people from say, burning the Bible, but the Qur'ans issue is different as the parliament is scared...
Australia's law schools, once bastions of rigorous legal training grounded in the rule of law, are increasingly becoming hubs of Leftist ideological activism that challenge the very foundations of Australian sovereignty. As Janet Albrechtsen has incisively argued, a growing number of legal academics reject the finality of Australian law, dismissing...
Australia's strategic position in the Indo-Pacific has never been more critical, as tensions between the United States and China continue to shape global security dynamics. Emeritus Professor Paul Dibb AM, a leading voice at the Australian National University's Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, has long emphasised the complexities of Australia'...
America stands at a familiar crossroads, one we have approached before with catastrophic results. The drumbeats of war with Iran grow louder each day, echoing the same dangerous rhetoric that led us into the quagmire of Iraq two decades ago. Tucker Carlson's stark warning to Steve Bannon should serve as a wake-up call: a war with Iran would not onl...
Following Labor's landslide victory in the 2025 federal election, the Australian government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Energy Minister Chris Bowen, has doubled down on its ambitious renewable energy policy, aiming for 82% renewable electricity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. While framed as a response to climate change and ...
On June 10, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a high-profile raid at Glenn Valley Foods, a meatpacking plant in Omaha, Nebraska, detaining 74 to 80 workers for lacking legal authorisation to work in the United States. In the days following, the plant saw a surge of job applications from American citizens, highligh...
Frank Shostak's penetrating question — "Does the 'economy' actually exist?" —strikes at the heart of one of modernity's most successful intellectual sleights of hand. The reification of "the economy" as a distinct, measurable entity separate from ongoing political and social action represents perhaps the most crucial ideological victory of liberal ...
Alain de Benoist's Against Liberalism (Counter-Currents, 2019) presents a fundamental challenge to the dominant political paradigm of our time, not from the familiar angles of Left or Right, but from a deeper philosophical critique that questions liberalism's very conception of human nature and social organisation. His argument deserves serious con...
Effective Altruism (EA), a philosophy championed by tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Dustin Moskovitz, and Sam Bankman-Fried, claims to maximise global good through reason and evidence. Yet, its lofty rhetoric masks a darker reality: EA is a hypocritical scam, weaponising genuine concerns about suffering to enrich and empower a technocratic elite....
In 2023, a provocative paper published in the Harvard Environmental Law Review, titled "Climate Homicide: Prosecuting Big Oil for Climate Deaths," proposed that fossil fuel companies could be charged with homicide, short of first-degree murder, for deaths linked to climate change-driven extreme weather. This concept gained traction with the first-e...
At the 2025 Tennessee Funeral Directors Association (TFDA) Convention in Franklin, Tennessee, a chilling revelation emerged: 64% of embalmers reported observing unusual white fibrous clots in 17% of corpses during the first half of 2025, a phenomenon they claim was unseen before the Covid-19 era. Spearheaded by retired U.S. Air Force Major Tom Havi...
The long-awaited release of the Ramazzini Institute's "Carcinogenic effects of long-term exposure from prenatal life to glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides in Sprague–Dawley rats" in the journal Environmental Health marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing debate surrounding glyphosate. This comprehensive, independent study provides robust, dos...
Modernity promised liberation, but for many, it has delivered only a profound and unsettling spiritual sickness. As George Christensen compellingly argues, we find ourselves in a state of terminal decline, not due to a lack of technology, wealth, or education, of which we have more than ever, but because we've fundamentally lost our way. The signs ...
We stand at a crossroads that future historians may mark as the moment when the promise of democratic capitalism gave way to something far more sinister: a techno-feudal order where artificial intelligence serves as the great divider, separating a small technological aristocracy from a vast population of economic serfs. The signs are everywhere, ye...
