In this 2015 article "Why I Hate the Super Bowl" expresses a strong critique of the event and professional sports in general. He argues that professional sports are "colossally, magnificently unimportant" and have no real-world consequences, stating that the outcome of a game like the Super Bowl has a value of precisely zero in terms of tangible impact on society. He questions the loyalty of fans to teams composed of players who are essentially strangers and may leave for better offers, calling the entire premise a "fraud".

"The Day I Left the Left" is an essay by Jim Goad recounting his personal journey from left-wing political beliefs to a more conservative and skeptical worldview. The essay, first published in 2011, details a pivotal moment in 1990 when Goad, then a 28-year-old journalist, was fired from the Los Angeles Reader after writing a cover story on the Hicks Boys, a gang of Mexican metalheads in East LA. The magazine's publisher, whom Goad describes with a distinctive appearance and high-pitched voice, rejected the article, calling the gang members "losers" and "scumbags," despite Goad's attempt to convey their complex reality.

Jared Taylor's article "The True Face of the Great Emancipator" presents a critical view of Abraham Lincoln, challenging his reputation as the "Great Emancipator" who freed the slaves. Taylor argues that Lincoln's admiration is undermined by his belief in racial separation and his active promotion of the colonization of free blacks outside the United States. According to Taylor, Lincoln opposed the social and political equality of white and black races, stating in a 1858 debate that he was not in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office or intermarry with white people. He believed the physical/mental differences between the races would forever forbid them living together on terms of social and political equality.

Jared Taylor's essay "Slavery and Its Discontents" argues that the contemporary, often condemnatory view of American slavery as the nation's "original sin" is an oversimplification and a distortion of history. He contends that this perspective, which demands the vilification of historical figures like George Washington, Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Jefferson, stems from a modern "compulsion to treat history like a morality play" rather than a balanced academic study. Taylor points to J. C. Furnas's 1959 book, The Road to Harpers Ferry, as an example of a more nuanced historical analysis that predated this trend.

Throughout the history of psychology, no question has been so persistent or so resistant to resolution as that of the relative roles of nature and nurture in causing individual and group differences in cognitive ability. The scientific debate goes back to the mid-19th century. Starting with the widespread use of standardized mental tests in World War I, average ethnic and racial group differences were found. Especially vexing has been the cause(s) of the 15-point Black–White IQ difference in the United States.
