By Selwyn Duke It was decades ago now that commentator Alan Keyes, responding to talk of “crises” (e.g., the economic crisis), added perspective. The real crisis we need worry about, he warned, is our “moral crisis.” Virtue in the people is the root of the tree. Take care of that and all else falls into place. The…

By Selwyn Duke The Soviets tried creating ape-human hybrids and embraced Lysenkoism, which held that acquired traits could be inherited. Nazi academics, such as Philipp Lenard, promoted the idea that science itself had racial character. Looking back on such pseudo-science, we now just shake our heads. Yet those who shake their fists at the heavens…

By Selwyn Duke “Sometimes smart people have a hard time believing stuff that everybody else knows.” So said the condemned (and possessed) convict in the “religious” film Nefarious (2023) to his self-assured atheist psychiatrist. Charles Murray, the famed political scientist and successful author, can certainly relate to this. Quoting his wife on religion, he stated…

By Selwyn Duke If your three children all got sick the day after a new kid came over to play, you’d have a decent clue about who the vector of disease was. This comes to mind with the reintroduction in California of an ancient killer: tuberculosis (TB). The world’s deadliest infectious disease, TB caused an…

By Selwyn Duke In the “old” days of the internet, you perhaps had to be wary of some creep in a chat masquerading as an appealing romantic interest. But that was small ball. Today some men are falling for gorgeous female “influencers” — who happen to be generated via artificial intelligence (AI). The kicker: Some…

By Selwyn Duke An analysis of the first 15 months of the Covid pandemic in Germany, population 84 million, found that zero healthy children died of the disease. In this vein, epidemiologist Dr. Knut Wittkowski stated in March-May 2020 that children would be largely unaffected by Covid. The response was censorship (e.g., YouTube removed an interview Wittkowski gave from…

By Selwyn Duke Vaccinated people “do not carry the virus, [and] don’t get sick” said then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky in 2021. She also implied that they couldn’t transmit Covid. The CDC had to walk her “expert” claims back mere days later. As we now know, “vaccinated” people could contract and spread the virus. Of course, you could…

By Selwyn Duke Here’s a point to ponder: Silicon Valley tech executives, including those from Apple and Google, have sometimes opted to send their own children to explicitly low-tech schools. Some also have raised their kids tech-free or with strictly limited screen time. These are people, too, who know technology as a baker does bread. Given this,…

By Selwyn Duke President Donald Trump recently reversed the Obama-era “endangerment finding,” which had identified CO2 as a public-health threat. Global-warming alarmists consider this a step backwards. But, says a man with actual hands-on experience working with so-called greenhouse gases, it’s a step toward sanity. In fact, writes James T. Moodey on Sunday, “Real scientists have…

By Selwyn Duke In our time we’ve traded wise men for experts — Confucius for the credentialed, Aquinas for academicians, Democritus for the degreed. Consequently, we don’t make our ancestors’ bush-league mistakes, such as the Romans using lead pipes, drilling holes in people’s heads to treat mental derangement, or selling radium-laced candy and water. We…
