Psychopaths are less prevalent in higher functions
Psychopathy has long fascinated people. The word evokes images of cold manipulators, brilliant criminals, and emotionless masterminds. Yet the clinical picture is very different. In real life, most psychopaths are not masterminds. They are reckless, impulsive, and short-sighted. They destroy more than they build.

Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence: Innate or evironmental?
Ideas about Ashkenazi Jewish cognitive abilities have roots in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During the rise of scientific racism and eugenics in Europe, some scientists fixated on supposed racial differences in intellect. In this period, even antisemitic theorists speculated that Jews might have distinctive mental traits, sometimes casting Jewish intelligence in a…

Cognitive biases and fallacies preventing atheism
Religious belief as a cognitive default: Cognitive science research suggests that human minds have innate tendencies that make belief in gods or spirits feel “natural.” In other words, our default mental settings predispose us to religious interpretations of reality.

Continental philosophy survives not because it enlightens, but because it is funded. Europe keeps paying for it, decade after decade, as if confusion were culture. Professors protect it like a national monument. Universities preserve it like ancient ritual. Yet outside of Europe, it barely breathes. Across the Atlantic, philosophy evolved. It merged with science, logic,…

The moral emptiness of the global elite
Behind presidents and parliaments stand the true masters — the bankers. Nomi Prins exposed this in All the Presidents’ Bankers.

The same families who financed wars, coups, and crises still write the rules…

Why humanity never learns from history
Every generation thinks it is smarter than the one before. It believes wars belong to the past, that humanity has finally matured, that reason will replace greed. But it never happens. The faces change, the flags change, yet the instincts stay. Power still corrupts. Greed still spreads. Vanity still drives the masses into chaos. People…

How algorithms replaced democracy
A new kind of elite has emerged—one that does not rule through armies or parliaments, but through code. The algorithmic class controls the invisible systems that determine what billions of people see, believe, and decide. Search engines and social media platforms, once symbols of free information, now filter reality through opaque algorithms designed to protect…

Evolutionary origins of political corruption
Political corruption is often described as a moral failure, a symptom of greed, or a defect of governance. Yet its roots go much deeper than law or ideology.
