The Left Shows Its Electoral Program: Molotov Cocktails Are Back

Joe Biden’s Secret Hobbies: Shooting Down Chinese Balloons and Conservative Newspapers

Never Discuss Politics With a Robot
I have just spent a few hours talking politics with the AI chatbot ChatGPT. The following is the most exciting part of my chat with a robot as smart as it is stupid. – Hello ChatGPT, How’s life? – Hello!... → Read More
What If You Had to Endure Your Own Laws?
One solution to bad politics would be to make politicians suffer the consequences of their own laws and initiatives. But for real. I mean to really suffer from them. I propose a constitutional modification: Before voting for anything, it must... → Read More
Concerning Marie Kondo’s Epiphany
Marie Kondo has always struck me as a psychopath. As I have never been a member of her team, I can enjoy her fall from grace. I know that a Christian should not rejoice in the misfortunes of others, but... → Read More
Get Your Grubby Complexes Off My Art
Since lately haters insult me a little less than usual, I am about to sign an elitist and classist article. Is Itxu Díaz really elitist? Very much so. From the moment I wake until lunchtime, and then for the rest... → Read More

The Slowing of Earth’s Inner Core Does Not Mean That We’re All Going to Die

Davos Is So Predictable
These days, world leaders are meeting in Davos. I have been able to listen to the first speeches, and I was moved by Liu He’s. The vice premier of China mentioned on 11 occasions that it is very important to... → Read More
We’re Stuck in a Digital World
I was born in 1981. I don’t remember much, but I think it was Monday because the gynecologist had dark circles under his eyes. We used to play soccer in the street, we hated going to school, and we would... → Read More
Wargame Says US Would Beat China — But at Huge Cost
The future has been written by a video game. The United States will win a war against China, but only after the countries bleed each other dry, following an attempt by China to invade Taiwan. The Center for Strategic and... → Read More
Leave the Crickets Alone!
I have vegan friends. Actually, I don’t, but I remember years ago, when, to get someone to listen to your anti–gay marriage opinion, you had to open with “I have a lot of gay friends, but…” Postmodern courtesy. The truth... → Read More
Longing for a Time When We Were Free
Freedom is like a bad girlfriend. You don’t know her for real until she leaves you. We can go on believing that we are free, that we live in free societies, that we have the right to exercise our freedom,... → Read More
In Memory of the Pope Who Made Us Think
The man who was likely the most important intellectual of the last century has died. And it is also likely that it will take us a long time to realize it. Pope Benedict XVI died just as he lived, because... → Read More
