Blacks and Hispanics have genetically lower intelligence
Of course, there is no exact evidence that different races possess different intelligence (g factor (IQ)). Let’s pretend blacks have the same genes for intelligence as East Asians and white people. However, there have been experiments with the exchange of children of different races into respectively different families (black children into white families and vice…

Want to be a politician? Prestigious circles are almost a necessity
The dream looks simple. A motivated citizen. A rising political star. A national leader chosen by the people. Many still believe in it. Some even teach it to children. Work hard. Play by the rules. Get involved in your party. Serve the public. One day, if you keep at it, you will reach the top.…

The new oligarchy: Beijing, Mumbai, and the Silent empire
For over a century, the Western elite controlled the script. Wall Street set the pace (aka the super-rich families and banks), Silicon Valley drove innovation, and Washington exported governance models dressed up as democracy. However, that world is gone. Today, a new oligarchy rises—not from Paris, Berlin, or New York, but from Beijing, Mumbai, and…

Limited knowledge and being always wrong on something
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability or knowledge overestimate their competence, while those with high ability tend to underestimate theirs, often because they are more aware of the complexity of the subject. But this paragraph is merely a part of the wider topic. My article aims to show our…

Intellectual property vs morality
“Would you steal a bread from a shop?” Some of these questions go when talking about internet piracy. Some people brag about strictly following the policies of intellectual property owners. But what we have to do before making claims about Intellectual property? Question the innate biological human morality. The origins of human morality Human morality…

Is it really worth it for people to go into politics now?
All the spotlight. But politics has inevitable bitter ends. Nearly every single politician will wear off. Unpopular decisions, bad economy, events caused by powers untouched by the very politicians. My readers know that political trio consists of the face (the politician), mover-and-shaker (the brain) and crook (stealing funds). You cannot, with all of the things…

Is Wikipedia evil and does it serve the super-rich?
My readers know I am not a fan. My view of Wikipedia has worsened as a whole. I wrote about how animalistic it is, how it promotes our prehistoric instincts instead of data, how it contributed to ruining my life with their lousy article on schizophrenia (which is, unbelievably, a featured article), and how secret…

The super-rich’s biggest asset: Confusing us with morality
People love to judge (morality). They follow courtroom drama, they react to shocking headlines. They chase guilt and demand punishment. A drunk driver hits a child — outrage follows. A shoplifter takes groceries — condemnation comes fast. A man stabs his neighbor — the story goes viral. Yet while these incidents flood our emotions, the…

A truly moral man. I have never seen such an individual
People distinguish between good (moral) and bad people. And since evolutionary biology, game theory and evolutionary psychology present human morality as something animalistic, my previous divide of good and bad people is gone. And even if you imagine our current Western morality (even though individuals have different systems) would be correct, there is still no…

Kanye West, mental illness and disobeying religious clintelism
Kanye West has been critically acclaimed for revolutionizing hip-hop through genre-bending albums like The College Dropout and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, praised for his bold production, emotional vulnerability, and cultural impact on fashion, music, and celebrity. I have read the tabloids, so I am aware of his excesses—praising Hitler, blatant antisemitism, wearing a black…
