4 Reasons Humans Are So Bad at Sexual Monogamy

Fernando Kaskais

As a culture, we love monogamy. But is it counterintuitive to our nature? By Anna Pulley As a culture, welovemonogamy. It’s the ultimate romantic promise and the only sanctioned way we are allowed to conduct ourselves in relationships. We even sign legal contracts with the government saying as much (though one wonders why such a proclamation is necessary if sexual fidelity is supposedly so easy). Yet, despite the romantic ideals of monogamy that are taught to us in America (and, indeed, the entire Western world), humans—both men and women—are quite bad at monogamy. How bad? Well, 40 to 50 percent … Continue reading 4 Reasons Humans Are So Bad at Sexual Monogamy

Fernando Kaskais

Be Careful What You Ask For; You Just Might Get It

Fernando Kaskais

“A Government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything you have.” ~ Thomas Jefferson by Rand Eastwood For decades, the American people have been turning everything they possibly can over to the state to take care of, convinced by government officials that they can avoid work and responsibility and just have fun, be entertained, and get free stuff. The entire time, libertarians (of all ilks) have been warning and warning and warning the people that doing so, in exchange for whatever benefits they think they’ll get in return, will ultimately result … Continue reading Be Careful What You Ask For; You Just Might Get It

Journalist reveals that “chocolate makes you thin” report was fake, designed to test what science media will reprint without checking sources

Fernando Kaskais

Don’t forget the chocolate,” announced Modern Healthcare. It was unbelievable news. And reporters shouldn’t have believed it. It turns out that the Institute of Diet and Health is just a Web site with no institute attached. Johannes … Continue reading Journalist reveals that “chocolate makes you thin” report was fake, designed to test what science media will reprint without checking sources

Fernando Kaskais

by Richard Smoley, New Dawn, Waking Times The idea that consciousness is evolving is one of the most important doctrines of the New Age. But is it true? Over the long term, the answer seems obvious. Even the stupidest of humans is far more intelligent and sophisticated than a trilobite. Although materialists have skirted the conclusion that evolution has a direction – and that this direction is toward greater complexity – they have not managed to shoot it down. The New Age idea of evolving consciousness is a little different. Many advocates of the new paradigm insist that human consciousness has gotten … Continue reading Has Consciousness Evolved?
