Dr. Monkey Ph.D.
People eat, sleep, mate, defecate, relax (because you would waste limited energy), cheat on their partners, observe other people to gain knowledge about the hunter-gathering group to increase their evolutionary fitness (who is a strong man, who possesses resources). We are just monkeys. Homo sapiens are also extremely territorial. They compete for everything: sexual partners,…

The differences between pseudosciences and evolutionary psychology
Some people claim evolutionary psychology is a pseudoscience just like any other. No hard evidence, no core observations, no skeletons we could match with others and no DNA analysis that would tell us more about our prehistoric behavior that actually exists to these days. But putting it on the same level with astrology, creationism, homeopathy,…

Free will and the wealth of the nations
I am not an Adam Smith and this article about free will and the wealth of nations is definitely not a sequel to his genius book. However, the article plays with the notion that nearly all people believe in free will. However there are major disparities between individual nations and their subsequent wealth. So where…

Dear parents, don’t push your children, push the educational system
People, especially pushy caring parents (especially South Korean or Ashkenazi Jewish), are doing things upside down. They should push their children to excel in the formal educational system (but not to the detriment of their psychological state), however, the current educational system is a useful maid of the super-rich that control the politicians and it…

Make all people speak English
The Czech Republic is a member of the EU and people can work and move to other countries that are not Czech-speaking, however, they don’t do that much. So this seems like learning a new language is a problem (because they lure people for higher wages). With all people living on this planet and speaking…

The biggest hidden murderers – doctors
I live in a small town in Czechia where Soviet soldiers left two civilian persons dead during the invasion of Czechoslovakia. There is a memorial of them. There are also memorials of fallen soldiers of WW1 and the Austro-Prussian War. Yes, huge tragedies. However, such things happen and are, rather, an aberration. But what about…

Gaza parallel – Czech genocide of Slovaks
In 2024, Israeli soldiers are conducting genocide on Palestinians in retaliation for the terrorist attack that Hamas conducted. Imagine the Czechs were doing such genocide on Slovaks. Not only the appalled world would take drastic measures, but the sole superpower – the USA – would make a quick end of it. And rightfully so.“There’s a…

Opinion polls. How people want to be regarded as more stupid than they are
In my culture, people look at top managers as professionals who do best in what they do. Needless to say, the eventual managers change, and are rewarded differently, but in the opinions of the common people, it doesn’t matter. So one business magazine had been asking them various questions about various topics. And the results…

Alternative to capitalism? No reason for top minds to develop it
Who wouldn’t be in love with capitalism? Definitely the 1 %. Or the 0,0003125 %(this number is just a gross estimation of how many super-rich families’ members are there). As you may have understood, I am joking with the 1 %. Because even they don’t get their “fair” share. If you think that making 300,000…

The world without clientelism
We hate our politicians but we are no different. A friend of a friend knows a friend and he or she takes care of you getting a job as a janitor. This is where the clientelism starts. Not only job opportunities, promotions, and stealing from public resources, but the whole political system is based on…
