I just took a look back at my numbers for 2023 but Google Analytics changed things up after August, so here are the most popular posts during the first eight months of that calendar year, three of which are new, seven of which are older:
- Robert Conquest’s Three Laws of Politics
- It is difficult to understand why this should be such a formidable task
- Strange things have been happening to the human body over the last few decades (new)
- IQ Shredders
- A modernized steel helmet is simultaneously lighter than the PASGT and performs better against both fragments and handgun rounds (new)
- Many prescription pharmaceuticals retain their full potency for decades beyond their manufacturer-ascribed expiration dates (new)
- The Class of 1914 died for France
- No Western artillery system is as capable and none apparently has the accuracy offered by GIS Arta
- Both sons also later attempted suicide
- Lego Is for Girls
Here are the most popular posts actually from 2023 and not from an earlier year:
- Strange things have been happening to the human body over the last few decades
- A modernized steel helmet is simultaneously lighter than the PASGT and performs better against both fragments and handgun rounds
- Many prescription pharmaceuticals retain their full potency for decades beyond their manufacturer-ascribed expiration dates
- Man is born polygamous yet everywhere he is monogamous
- An FGC-9 with a craft-produced, ECM-rifled barrel exhibited impressive accuracy
- It is the exodus from the universities that explains what is happening in the larger culture
- Galton’s disappearance from collective memory would have been surprising to his contemporaries
- He said he was going to do it, and he did
- Only Erich Raeder, the German navy commander, saw the danger clearly enough to press repeatedly and with great conviction for another way to gain Germany’s goals
- Our ancestors were polygynous until about three hundred thousand years ago
Again, I’m not sure what to conclude.
Also, I should thank some of my top referrers: Reaction Times, Borepatch, and Z Man.
Happy New Year!
Still waiting for that 20th anniversary post.
