Do US elites practice satanic rituals?
At first, the idea sounds absurd. Claims about elite satanic rituals belong to fringe forums, not serious inquiry. Rational thinking rejects them immediately. You dismiss them without hesitation. However, over time, something changes. Not belief, but doubt. Not conviction, but discomfort. You begin to notice that some pieces of reality do not fit cleanly into…

Why capitalism cannot survive its own complexity
At first glance, capitalism looks simple. It connects buyers and sellers. It rewards effort, innovation, and efficiency. It scales across societies and creates wealth at unprecedented levels. For a time, it even appears self-correcting. However, this simplicity belongs to an earlier stage. As capitalism expanded, it did not merely grow. Instead, it accumulated layers. It…

Iran’s leaders: Kill millions, we won’t step down
At the most basic level, leadership carries responsibility. If leaders truly cared about their population, then they would step down when their rule produces suffering, isolation, and death. In other words, this is not an abstract moral idea. Rather, it is a concrete test of responsibility. Therefore, we must ask a direct question. What does…

How humans evolved to believe lies
Humans like to imagine themselves as rational creatures. Science celebrates this idea. Universities reinforce it. Enlightenment philosophy built an entire worldview around the assumption that reason guides human behavior. According to this narrative, humans gradually replaced myth with evidence and superstition with science. However, reality tells a more complicated story. Across cultures and historical periods,…

Markets reward innovation. This story dominates public imagination. Reality looks far more complex. Silicon Valley grew inside a dense institutional ecosystem that involved the U.S. military, intelligence agencies, universities, and federal…

Presidents, conscience, and killing millions
History condemns figures such as Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot because their regimes caused the deaths of millions. Their responsibility appears direct and brutal. They created systems of terror that openly destroyed human life on a massive scale. However, modern democratic leaders face a different but still troubling moral question. Presidents of powerful…

Why I will never reply on X?
For a long time I tried to reply to people on X. I believed discussion might clarify ideas. I believed arguments might help people rethink their assumptions. Eventually I realized that this expectation was unrealistic. Replying on X consumes time and energy while producing almost no intellectual value. For that reason I decided that I…

How rival Christian groups corrupted the Bible
Most Christians imagine the Bible as a stable and unified book. They assume the same message passed unchanged from the time of Jesus to the present. According to this view, the text simply traveled through history while scribes faithfully copied every word. However, the historical reality looks very different. The Bible did not emerge as…

Jesus non-existence on X. Is it Freethinkers International’s work?
Over the last months, I started to notice something unusual on X. Suddenly, many Christians defend the historical existence of Jesus. Threads appear where believers argue that Jesus certainly lived. Others respond by questioning the evidence. Debates escalate quickly. This change caught my attention because I rarely saw such discussions before. For years, public debates…
