Pike Surprise | Life Below Zero

This time of year, the pike are spawning in the shallows. There’s a grassy area just up around the corner where I might find some. I haven’t caught a pike yet this year, so you never know exactly what you’re going to find, but I’m hoping for some good fis…

Making Something Social Destroys the Truth of It

Making something social destroys the truth of it because social groups need consensus to survive. Otherwise, they fight; they can’t get along. Consensus is all about compromise, not about truth-seeking. Science was this unique discipline, at least in Natu…
