    The role of charitable institutions in a market-based health system

    June 25, 2025

    Charitable institutions and voluntary donations from donors are an important part of the market-based health system. Despite the lack of a centralized structure, more and more institutions of this type are emerging with economic development. This also contributes positively to the development of appropriate ethical attitudes in society and shows that there is a real market alternative to formalized and…

    Opinion: To think or not to think? Should you really think for yourself or should you trust the experts?

    December 14, 2020

    Thinking for yourself is often touted as a virtue, but how appropriate is it really? After all, in the grand scheme of things, there's a boundless universe of potential knowledge, and we ourselves each grasp but a thin sliver of all that's knowable. Theoretically, the more facts and data we have to assist us, the better our decision making can…

    Those who fear disease most are most likely to prefer authoritarian regimes

    November 24, 2020

    Covid-19 has unleashed a pandemic of restrictive measures on the population. Lockdowns and mask mandates are becoming widespread. Libertarians have been vociferously denouncing covid-19 containment strategies as draconian. Evolutionary psychologists, however, argue that reactions in favor of government restrictions are the norm in environments where the public fears contamination. According to the parasitic stress theory popularized by Randy Thornhill and Corey Fincher, societies with a high…

    August 18, 2020

    When it comes to masks, there is no “settled science”

    July 28, 2020

    As the “fifteen days to slow the spread” continues to extend indefinitely, the issue of mask mandates has become increasingly contentious. The debate has been exacerbated by the inconsistency of the recommendations of authorities (political, scientific, and imaginary). Early in the pandemic, both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) advised against the…

    The false-positive panic over Covid-19

    July 16, 2020

    Imagine an articulate chief lemming bragging that not only had his followers jumped off a cliff, but that they had done so in far greater numbers than any other slice of the rodents. This is the position occupied by the US regarding testing for Covid-19. We’ve done more testing than any other country and bragged a lot about doing so;…

    Most Americans drink fluoridated water. Is that a good thing?

    November 17, 2017

    If you’re like many Americans, you drink fluoridated water without questioning its safety or efficacy.
