    Today's Morning Heresy is titled "It Starts To Feel True," and, yeah, I bet "it" does. Obviously, the major news is that the President of the United States and First Lady have tested positive for COVID-19. 2/14

    Dear , you should be ashamed of yourselves. You are acting like cowardly cerebral eunuchs. Grow a spine let alone a pair. Here is my take on the situation.

  17. Doctors would sniff their patients (which they did, actually, in historical times). Detectives would wear kneepads for going about with their nose to the ground. Poets would rhapsodize about the pheromones of their beloved. Composers would create smell symphonies.

  18. Adultery would be very problematic. Burglars would wash assiduously before going out on a mission. Wine snobs would become even more unbearable.

  19. Our ancestors could smell far better than us. Our genome is cluttered with c. 400 “dead” smell genes, active in other mammals but in us not expressed (see Jerry Coyne: Why Evolution is True). Explain that, creationists! How would your life change if they were all turned on?
