If we wish to live long and enjoy being alive, an effective exercise plan is critical—it is sine qua non. “If exercise were a drug, it would be the best drug we have for preventing heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis, depression, diabetes, and obesity, said James O’Keefe, MD on Peter Attia’s podcast. On the same podcast,…

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.

I’m reprinting a delightful letter from author Anne Lamott on the value of reading: “If you love to read, or learn to love reading, you will have an amazing life. Period. Life will always have hardships, pressure, and incredibly annoying people, but books will make it all worthwhile. In books, you will find your North…

I want to clarify two things about my recent post, “Good News Regarding Leonard Peikoff.” Regarding Lisa Van Damme’s operetta presentation, I wrote: “… he [Leonard] expects to deliver [it] in April.” The April date was mentioned casually and was not intended as a firm date.

Here are the lyrics with my comments: Everybody’s searching for a hero (be your own hero).People need someone to look up to (look up to yourself).I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs (fulfill your own needs).A lonely…

Three years ago, Eric Juhlin, CEO and Chairman of Center for Excellence in Higher Education (a private nonprofit college group), and I entrusted our reputations, careers, and fortunes to the Colorado judicial system—to the Honorable Ross Buchanan, a Denver district court judge.
