Great articles assessing the truth or falsehood of all kinds of theories and assertions, with the truth being the only guiding light. Articles you’ll find nowhere else.
Great to have the digital version

Since I read nearly everything on my iPad or phone, the digital version of this journal makes reading the it much more accessible. I can easily read it in bed with even with the lamp turned off. I also appreciate the Reader view feature that turns an article into a single long page for scrolling. The only most important feature missing for me is a highlighter. When I read non-fiction I always want to annotate what I'm reading for later review. It's great that the app allows for copying and pasting selected text, but a highlighter is also needed.
Great, but …

I do find it amazing that this, and many other digital reading Apps, can’t seem to remember what page I last read or even what was the last issue I was reading! This is just simply laziness or indifference.
Not what it was
Totally Gnar Gnar
This magazine used to be a beacon for nuanced un-biased perspectives on scientific thinking about the world. Now it's just political anti-woke nonsense. The articles just blame the political left for all surrounding mistrust in our institutions without articulating the rights role which = bias. Shermer also let conservative authors write anti-abortion articles that aren't science based (which is the point of the publication). Sorry Shermer, but you have lost your way.
