(This post is only for Objectivists.) I received an email from the producer of We the Living, Duncan Scott.

Posted on August 22, 2023August 22, 2023 by Carl Barney

I want to recommend, again, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity by Peter Attia, MD.

Posted on June 30, 2023June 30, 2023 by Carl Barney

Whenever a doctor recommends a medication or supplement, I ask Dr. Google about side effects before taking them. Usually, there’s a long and frightening list. Side effects are tricky….

An Education Revolution

Posted on June 26, 2023June 30, 2023 by Carl Barney

I was having dinner with Peter Diamandis, the founder of XPrize (an exciting organization—Google it), and I asked him what his next big moonshots were.

Mark Twain wrote: “A lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.” Women have been lied to, the outcome of which is seriously detrimental to their health.
