There is joy in danger. — Napoleon

Psychopathy seems like the epitome of evil. As we’ll see, however, one characteristic of psychopathy is associated with at least one virtue.

Psychopathy can’t be cured; it can only be managed. Perhaps John Calvin had psychopaths in mind when he developed his theory of predestination: God chooses some for salvation rather than others. (more…)

Race and Evolution: The Causes & Consequences of Race Differences
Pittsburgh: Mount Lebanon Editions, 2022

With all the scientific research we now have on the topic of race realism, suggesting a starting point for beginners can be a challenge.

Richard Lynn   

I have no recollection of when I first got in touch with Richard Lynn except to say that it was a very long time ago. I remember mailing him various papers and clippings that I thought might be helpful to him at least as early as 1980.

This famous scene from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel has recently been interpreted in a startling new way. After it was cleaned and restored, the original details were revealed.

Eugenics: A Reassessment
Westport, Conn.: Praeger Publishers 2001
