The biggest mass murderer in history?

I love science. I am a rationalist. If science can’t get a handle on it, then the likelihood is I don’t want anything to do with it. But bad science? Bad science can be the most destructive, murderou…

Are you living, or are you dying?

I know I am not alone in thinking about my own mortality. It sort of creeps up on you as the years tick by. A year like 2016, when so many celebrated, famous people shuffle off this mortal coil certa…
