A ICEBERG - IS THE WORLD A FRIENDLY PLACE?
Is It A Dangerous World We Live In? Assessing High Profile Threats
Updated Dec 06, 2017 Photo credit: Matthew Wiebe/Unsplash. The world is not nearly as dangerous and depraved as most people think. Recent events have more than one person I know worrying about where the human race is headed, but this popular notion is unfounded. Take a step back and it’s easy to see things are […]
World Dangers 5*
Some say that the world is becoming a better place in which to live, but we are exposed to an increasing number of dangers. Hence, I think that the world is an increasingly dangerous place in which to live for several reasons. Firstly, we are shadowed with the threat of nuclear war, where entire nations […]
Is the World Really as Dangerous as We Think? BY JON CLIFTON 5*
JUNE 26, 2018 Conflict in the Middle East, terrorism in the West, gang violence throughout Latin America — from everything we read, see and hear from the news, it’s easy to conclude that the entire world is a dangerous place. Is it? Counter to what we might see and hear, a majority of people […]

Nature is not your friend
Michael Crichton notes rightly that there are a lot of stupid beliefs about nature going around the urbanized American classes these days. Environmentalism, he says, is now a fundamentalist religion. In short, the romantic view of the natural world as a blissful Eden is only held by people who have no actual experience of nature. […]
Mother Nature: Friend or Foe? – Charles R. LaDow 5*
When, in his theory of natural law, John Locke suggested that a man is entitled to such land as he can “redeem from the state of nature,” our forefathers understood what he meant. Each plot which they wished to farm had to be reclaimed from the piney woods, native brush, or bogs, filled with the […]
Mother Nature is Not Our Friend – Sam Harris 5*
Like many people, I once trusted in the wisdom of Nature. I imagined that there were real boundaries between the natural and the artificial, between one species and another, and thought that, with the advent of genetic engineering, we would be tinkering with life at our peril. I now believe that this romantic view of […]
