A drug that “destroys HIV”

I’m too busy studying right now to make any kind of long comments on this, but a friend sent me this link a few minutes ago. Check it out. Posted by Arcane at 01:03 PM

The NY Times disappoints us… again.

When I logged onto the NY Times Magazine website tonight and started browsing through their annual “Year in Ideas” issue, I saw one of the ideas being mentioned was “Fertile Red States.” Thinking immediately that Steve Sailer’s latest research into this would be mentioned in it, I clicked on it and was disappointed that, as […]

The “baby gap”

Steve Sailer’s long-awaited article for The American Conservative has finally been posted on their site! Check it out. Posted by Arcane at 02:06 PM

The Pentagon’s “Cambrian program”

Andrew Parker, who has been discussed on this blog before, has been recruited, along with “all manner of political and military figureheads, as well as defence analysts, computer programmers, tacticians and statisticians,” by the British Ministry of Defense to develop a piece of software that will use “evolutionary theory to predict possible threats and outcomes,” […]

The Fallujah Report

This entry is totally unrelated to the primary subject of the blog, but I felt that I had a responsibility to post this (kudos to Noah Shachtman at Defense Tech). This is a PowerPoint presentation apparently created by U.S. Central Command about the battle of Fallujah in Iraq. For an HTML version of this PowerPoint, […]

Biological aspects in dystopian literature

The Chronicle of Higher Education has a great piece called “Biology, Culture, and Persistent Literary Utopias” that I’m sure all of you will find interesting. The primary focus of the article is a common unifying them in most dystopian literature, mainly the “denial of biology.” Literary dystopias have this in common: They are imagined societies […]

Disclaimer stickers for science textbooks

In light of recent decisions on the local level calling for IDiot ideology to be taught with an equal amount of vigor as evolutionary biology, Colin Purrington has uploaded a PDF file of 15 disclaimer stickers that can be posted onto schoolbooks. Check it out! Posted by Arcane at 09:53 PM

Nazi IQs and leader success

I’ve been to the Volkmar Weiss’ web site numerous times, but for some reason I missed this set of statistics about the IQs of some key Nazi leaders: IQ of Nazi leaders, cited from: Gilbert, G. M.: Nuremberg Diary. New York: Signet Book 1947, p. 34; Wechsler-Bellevue IQ: Hjalmar Schacht IQ 143, Arthur Seyss-Inquart IQ […]

Ontario’s submission to Shar’ia

In a development that has been discussed on this blog by Godless before, Ontario is going to begin allowing for the application of Shar’ia law for Muslims in Ontario. In year-old articles that I seem to have missed before, the Canadian Law Times reported that the new Islamic Institute for Civil Justice in Ontario has […]

Glassman’s tips to the Democratic leadership

I’m limiting my political posts since we already have tons of bloggers posting political stuff, but I just had to post this link: be sure to check out James Glassman’s 10 suggestions on how to Save the Democratic Party. It’s fantastic. Be sure to check out the Open Thread (on the top right-hand corner of […]

A Dutch leftist on the threat of Islamism: “We will have to live with” it…

… and I say you’ll die from it. This latest article by Dutch columnist Mark Spaan in The Guardian is the latest example of tolerance taken way too far. Spaan states, “Few are aware that in the near future as much as 15% of the Netherlands’ population will be Muslim. The old Dutch society so […]

Is Turkey the answer?

Today I read an absolutely fascinating article by Robert D. Kaplan in this coming month’s Atlantic Monthly (requires username and password). I have long been skeptical of the idea of bringing Turkey into the European Union, mostly after reading Lawrence Auster and a few guys over at Frontpage Magazine. However, this single article has forced […]

“Brain” in a dish flies flight sim…

This was just way too juicy to pass up not posting. It seems that a professor at my university has developed a “brain” from 25,000 neurons extracted from the brain of a rat, which grew on top of 60 electrodes in a petri dish. When the neurons reconnected themselves, and it was attached to an […]

Gottfredson attacked for helping the NYTimes in article about Kerry’s IQ

Media Matters for America, a left-wing media “watchdog” organization, has launched an attack on Linda Gottfredson for helping the NYTimes confirm whether or not Steve Sailer’s analysis of Bush and Kerry’s IQ was “credible.” What are they using to attack her? Her relation to the The Pioneer Fund, of course, of which she received some […]

Embryos being screened for cancer in UK

Interesting, although short and somewhat uninformative, story about how IVF embryos are now being screened for signs of colon cancer in London. Posted by Arcane at 05:13 PM

A topic for debate…

For those who have been monitoring all of the various comments sections at this site, I’m sure you have noticed that there has been raging a rather strong debate here and there about what journals are credible sources for material and which are not. That brings me to a great question that I simply cannot […]

A Libertarian Party founder comes out for Bush

John Hospers, in his “An Open Letter to Libertarians” published on Tom Palmer‘s site, has come out in favor of President Bush. Many of his reasons are similar to my own, so check it out! Posted by Arcane at 02:44 PM

Insane EU regulations

If you thought the European Union was a regulatory nightmare, wait until you read this. (Hat tip to Lawrence Auster for linking this) Posted by Arcane at 05:22 PM

Why I voted for the re-election of President Bush

Many of you have asked in the comments sections and such as to why I voted for President Bush. I have finally uploaded a Q&A dialogue that should pretty much answer your questions in regards to this. You can read it here or click on the extended entry… As many of you know, and some […]

On Nazi quotas, affirmative action, and proportionalism…

Right now I’m reading an outstanding book by John Cornwell, Hitler’s Scientists: Science, War, and the Devil’s Pact. I don’t really want to get into the Jew discussion again, but this part about quotas really caught me, and I thought I’d share it with you… On 25 April 1933, the Nazi government passed with much […]
