The biggest mass murderer in history?
I love science. I am a rationalist. If science can’t get a handle on it, then the likelihood is I don’t want anything to do with it. But bad science? Bad science can be the most destructive, murderous

Are you living, or are you dying?
I know I am not alone in thinking about my own mortality. It sort of creeps up on you as the years tick by. A year like 2016, when so many celebrated, famous people shuffle off this mortal coil certainly

Mass Immigration and the Liberal Boogeymen
I decided last week to change how I operate on Steemit. As much as I want to make some money on here, my attempts to appeal to a large audience have, by and large, not been successful. It could be that

Like a lot of people, I have been trying to find my feet on Steemit. I see those succeeding, and I have tried, superficially, to emulate what they are doing. I am trying to find a “niche”, and this has

WTF Nature 2: Meet Mr Blobby
Look, we all know that looks aren’t supposed to be important. It’s inside what counts, right? Try telling that to the ugliest animal in the world (and no, I am not talking about Piers Morgan). Actually,

Consider the bullet ant. A fairly formidable insect, native to Central America, its bite is said to be as painful as a being shot by a bullet. That sounds like an exaggeration to me, but I wouldn’t like

Are you capable of murder? Probably, it seems…
I know that you think you aren’t. Me neither. I am no saint, but, as a rule, I don’t tend to kill people. Generally speaking, killing people is bad, and anyway, I am far too pretty to go to prison. I am

There's snow business...
So, we had a little snow. I say a little, but for us it's a lot, and this is just the start of it. And being a country that doesn't tend to get snow, it has caused quite a ruckus nationwide, even leading

Films you have to see: the 70s
Something staggering happened to film-making in the 1970s. It was a zeitgeist thing, to some degree. On the back of the swinging sixties, pervasive moral attitudes were changing, which unleashed a hurricane

You’re not as clever as you think you are.
I am not an expert, but I would think that blogging 101 would suggest that you really shouldn’t start off by insulting your would-be reader. It’s okay though, because you’re in denial, so you didn’t take
