A Modern Miracle – Child Survival

Posted on July 8, 2021April 14, 2022 by Carl Barney

One of the most tragic, wretchedly heartbreaking traumas for parents is the loss of a child, either neonatal or during childhood, adolescence, or even in their adult years. It’s just not supposed to happen! It feels like a betrayal; it can cause unspeakable suffering. I was struck by a column by Alison Gopnik titled “A…

Posted on June 24, 2021April 14, 2022 by Carl Barney

In a recent article, Peter Attia, MD, a longevity specialist, explained some of the problems with dietary sugar. He wrote that: High glucose variability and higher (peak) glucose levels are each independently associated with accelerated onset of disease and death, even in non-diabetics.

A Stunning Contrast to the Covid-19 Pandemic

Posted on June 11, 2021April 14, 2022 by Carl Barney

According to most politicians and the mainstream media, the Covid-19 pandemic is one of the worst outbreaks in modern history—and it’s been well-managed. But a recent article by Niall Ferguson in the Wall Street Journal refutes both notions by comparing today’s pandemic to one that most people have forgotten about: the 1957 Asian flu outbreak….

Posted on June 8, 2021June 8, 2021 by Carl Barney

In this post, I wrote that the video of Jordan Peterson at OCON 2018 had only 30,000 views on ARI’s YouTube channel. A reader informed me that the video is also posted on Dave Rubin’s channel and that it has 288,000 views there. The reader also pointed out that Peterson was onstage for 100 minutes,…

Doctors’ Political Leanings

Posted on June 1, 2021April 14, 2022 by Carl Barney

I saw a fascinating chart that sets forth which American doctors are Republicans and which are Democrats. The chart is reprinted below. With regard to the widespread advocacy of lockdowns and masks, as well as other political manipulations, the results are interesting. Note that infectious disease doctors are over 75% Democrat. Is this fake news?…

OCON Canceled Me

Posted on May 26, 2021May 26, 2021 by Carl Barney

I’ve been going to OCON for about the last 40 years (before it was even called OCON). I’ve enjoyed catching up with friends each year, and I would miss them if I didn’t go to OCON. At this year’s conference, there’s going to be a tribute to Leonard Peikoff, and I would enjoy being part…

Life will always have hardships, pressure, and incredibly annoying people, but books will make it all worthwhile. In books, you will find your North…

Peter Schwartz Claims “Unjust Attacks on ARI”

Posted on April 30, 2021May 3, 2021 by Carl Barney

Peter Schwartz wrote in a forum, among many of my friends, colleagues, and associates, that he has “no objection to someone who criticizes ARI’s policies or strategies,” but that I’ve gone too far. I’ve been criticizing ARI over the last several months, and he says I’ve engaged in “smears and half-truths.” He makes two claims…
