James Alexander's July 8, 2025, Daily Sceptic article critiques Jordan Peterson's performance on the Surrounded podcast by Jubilee, where he faced a barrage of 20 atheist antagonists in a rapid-fire debate format. Alexander argues that Peterson's reliance on Jungian philosophy, framing Christianity through archetypes and psychological narratives, l...

The claim that the Mediterranean Sea is experiencing a "1-in-216-billion-year" sea temperature anomaly is a hyperbolic expression highlighting the unprecedented nature of recent marine heatwaves in the region. While not a scientifically precise statistic, it underscores the severity of current sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies. After all, acc...

Kyle Bass, a prominent hedge fund manager known for his candid and historically grounded insights, recently issued a stark warning about China's economy: "We are witnessing the largest macroeconomic imbalances the world has ever seen, and they are all coming to a head in China." For decades, China has been heralded as the engine of global growth, b...

There was a time when women in Europe, even young women, could walk their neighbourhoods at dusk without fear. That time is fading. In the Netherlands today, nearly half of all women aged 15 to 25 regularly avoid parts of their own local areas, streets they know well, corners they once crossed without hesitation. This is not a marginal figure. It i...

Recent revelations about Chinese-linked companies acquiring land near Australian ports shortlisted for AUKUS submarine bases, have sparked alarm, highlighting what critics call a persistent naivety in Australia's approach to national security. An article from The Australian on July 18, 2025, details how firms tied to Shanghai businessman Wang Yongx...

On matters of Catholic dogma, the Popes claim to be infallible. But on the science around climate change and the political Net Zero lunacy they frequently talk out of their pontifical posteriors. Who can forget the late Pope Francis's claim that humans are causing earthquakes, a suggestion that only the whackiest of climate alarmists can utter. Ala...

Dr. David McGrogan's take on young male immigrants is a gut-punch of truth: unrestricted immigration, especially of young men, can destabilise society without ironclad controls. He's not theorising from an ivory tower, he lived it as a reckless expat in Japan, unleashing "aggressive energy" in public spaces. Young men, cut loose from cultural roots...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called "forever chemicals," are synthetic compounds that linger in our environment and bodies, posing serious health risks like cancer, hormone disruption, and thyroid disease. Found in everything from non-stick cookware to drinking water, PFAS are notoriously difficult to eliminate once they enter ...

Erythritol, a sugar substitute found in everything from low-carb ice creams to keto-friendly snacks and "sugar-free" sodas, has long been celebrated as a guilt-free sweetener. With nearly zero calories, 80% of sugar's sweetness, and minimal impact on blood sugar or insulin, it's a favourite for those managing obesity, diabetes, or low-carb diets. B...

For years, the world has been haunted by a question that refuses to die: Who was Jeffrey Epstein trafficking girls to? The man is dead, his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison, and yet the central piece of the puzzle, the infamous client list, remains locked away, sealed by court order and protected by a wall of legal euphemism and political ...

Picture it: a warm summer day at Lac des Dagueys, France. Families splashing in the water, children building sandcastles, and somewhere out there, a Moroccan national bobbing about like a philosophical jellyfish, allegedly groping mothers and pondering his own metaphysical exile. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, France has hit another proud milestone in ...

It sounds like something from a Hitchcock film or a gothic courtroom drama: a man drives 14 miles in his pyjamas, breaks into his in-laws' home, bludgeons and stabs his mother-in-law to death, brutally assaults his father-in-law, and is acquitted because he was asleep the whole time! But this isn't fiction. It's the real-life case of Kenneth Parks,...

While Donald Trump launches a National Farm Security Action Plan to stop Chinese interests buying up American farmland like it's going out of fashion, Australia continues to roll out the red carpet for the CCP, red being, of course, their favourite colour. In the United States, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a...

One thing that keeps life interesting: mysteries persist. Much of the life we think of as everyday and mundane is unknown to us except as a manifestation. We live it, but have no idea why it is here or how. For example, we still do not know what creates consciousness, or even how to define it. But how is a collection of neurons capable of learning?...

 Once, Australia was a land of makers, its heart forged in the fires of industry, its hands calloused from building cars, shaping steel, weaving textiles, and crafting goods that bore the proud stamp of "Made in Australia." From the bustling factories of Victoria to the steelworks of Whyalla, the nation's manufacturing sector was a testament t...

The lament in the Daily Sceptic's July 18, 2025, article, "Why Is Modernity So Ugly?" captures a profound truth: the built environment of modern Britain, its signs, housing estates, and public buildings, has become a monument to aesthetic decay. From the sterile metal sign replacing Townsville's flower-laden welcome to the soulless St Clement's sur...

The scenario where Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist and New York City mayoral candidate, wins the mayoral election and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) ascends to the U.S. presidency, implementing radical policies like abolishing private property and prisons, presents a transformative and polarising vision for America. This blog ...

In recent decades, Lilith has become a potent icon of female rebellion. She is invoked as the original feminist: the woman who refused to lie beneath Adam, who demanded equality at the dawn of creation, and who chose exile and autonomy over submission and servitude. Artists, poets, and scholars have embraced her as a symbol of feminine resistance a...

Clive Pinder's July 19, 2025, Daily Sceptic article, "Why We're All Sceptics Now," captures the profound disillusionment gripping Britain, a nation once anchored by faith in its institutions now reeling from their decay. From the Ministry of Defence's betrayal of Afghan interpreters to the politicisation of policing, the NHS's bureaucratic bloat, a...

The British public's growing alarm over crime, as revealed in a July 2025 Survation poll, is not mere hyperbole, it reflects a nation spiralling into chaos. With 74% of Britons viewing knife crime as "out of control," 70% saying the same for theft, and 69% for drug-related crimes, the perception of a "lawless Britain" is taking root, with 48% agree...
