US-led investigation into origins of Covid-19 inconclusive

Published

Officials remain divided over whether the Covid-19 virus originated from a lab or person-to-animal contact

US officials say that the investigation into the origins of Covid-19 remains inconclusive.

To date, the most plausible theories are that the virus leaked from a lab, or an infected animal spread it to humans.

Citizens globally are still waiting for officials to release a summary of the findings in a few days’ time. However, the media is still reporting that the investigation has come to no conclusion.

President Biden initially requested the investigation following the WHO travelling to Wuhan earlier this year. The WHO determined that the virus probably did come from an animal.

China dismisses lab theory as ‘anti-science’

Meanwhile, China’s foreign minister has dismissed the lab leak theory and other further reporting as ‘anti-science’.

The minister added that the US has effectively “ignored and abandoned” the WHO’s previous research.

The WHO’s report dismisses the possibility that the virus may have leaked from a lab. However, sceptics point out that the Wuhan lab in question has studied bats for years.

News that several researchers at the lab were hospitalised back in November 2019 prompted Biden’s decision to launch a further investigation.

Roman Empire’s endless appeal linked to masculinity crisis

Published

For centuries, the Roman Empire has remained an enduring fascination for men worldwide.

The allure of this ancient civilization seems impervious to the passage of time, and a recent study suggests that its unending appeal may be intertwined with what researchers are calling the “masculinity polycrisis.”

The study, conducted by a team of anthropologists and historians, delves into the reasons behind men’s persistent obsession with the Roman Empire. It points to a multifaceted phenomenon characterised by a crisis in masculinity – a sense of lost identity and purpose that many modern men grapple with.

It’s led to the rise of social media influencers like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson.

The Roman Empire, often associated with strength, power, and conquest, provides a historical backdrop against which men can examine and reevaluate their own masculinity. Its military prowess, stoic values, and patriarchal hierarchy offer a stark contrast to the evolving gender roles in today’s society.

Furthermore, the study highlights the influence of pop culture, where depictions of Roman warriors, gladiators, and emperors reinforce traditional ideals of manhood. From Hollywood blockbusters to bestselling novels, these portrayals perpetuate the enduring appeal of the Roman Empire.

In the age of digital media, online forums and social media platforms serve as virtual amphitheaters where men engage in discussions about Roman history, masculinity, and identity. These spaces provide a sense of belonging and validation for those seeking to navigate the complexities of modern masculinity.
