Underpinning our daily lives – whether it’s the fit bits on our wrists, likes on social media, and even school rankings – they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous, warping our desires and outsourcing our values to external institutions.

How do we understand the world and our place in it? Do our lives consist of a small number of dramatic turning points, or is there nothing but a series of gradual changes from infancy to old age? Are political elections genuinely transformational, or merely arbitrary points along a shifting cultural timeline? And in physics, how can the continuities of general relativity coexist with the discontin...

As usual the boys find themselves somewhat at odds with the officially sanctioned narratives on everything from NATO, Greenland, Ukraine and Qatar to who exactly is cutting the undersea cables, and what might be going on with Elon Musk, the dollar, American debt and crypto.  And we end with a brief look at the bond market’s reaction to Labour’s budget and what that tells us about the fiction...

Latest - Bird Flu, Cows, Chicken Feed and Covid Did Bird Flu get into America's cattle because they were being fed infected chicken feed? And the offical covid narrative continues to unravel. Should we be worried? Sadly yes and on two counts. First bird flu in cattle means it now has hunderds of millions more carriers in which to mutate and pick up what it needs to infect us. And second,...

International Law! What is it good for!? Absolutely....? In the week Donald Trump was found guilty in a court of law, we ask do nations really care a damn about the law?
