Israeli security forces must have known about Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack
The heinous terrorist attack that Hamas committed on 7 October 2023 was unspeakably cruel. It has unleashed an unbelievable motion that has changed the situation forever. Some people attributed the attack to Israeli intelligence being inept. I really don’t think so. Even if the secret forces had one person around the aforementioned group, they must have known…

Hell of politics. People are just like animals waiting to be slaughtered
Even if we admit the narrative the mainstream media present that there are just lobbyists, companies and some shady things in politics (I purposefully omitted the super-rich families, movers-and-shakers, crooks, international lobbyists and the whole patron-client system ridden through everything), this cannot be a finer example that we are just animals evolved to resolve problems…

Death penalty because you are gay. LGBTQ+ as one of the world’s most pressing issues
One would think that Hitler’s systemic incarceration, torture and eventual killings of LGBTQ+ people (which actually happened on an unimaginable scale) is a relic of the past and that things are over now when the majority of developed countries legalized sexual minorities or even provided lawful means of partnerships or marriages. No, especially in developing…

Who really creates start-ups? It is not the “inventors”
Tons of interviews were made and tons of books were written about the alleged “inventors” of the biggest start-ups. However, the reality lies somewhere else. Imagine the US as a country completely controlled by a few super-rich groups. Some of them are very close to secret services apparatus that has tens of financial resources more…

Start-ups, the super-rich, banking, politics. Why are connections mostly harmful?
Connections can be divided into trust issues (you know well that the person would conduct the desirable way you want) and creating the possibility of anything (given the ability of the contact). Both of these can be attributed to the evolution of homo sapiens and can be useful and detrimental to humankind. After the Czechoslovakia…

Why even a modern conservative cannot be a freethinker?
I post this article both on my blog and Freethinkers International. And I am sure my own blog more than aware readers have their opinion already formed. Yet, the ongoing debate on Freethinkers International has provoked me to write this piece. We live in megacities, use electricity, have microchips, atomic bombs, high-speed trains, however, we…

Do IQ tests actually measure IQ? Who nearly murdered Wechsler? And are they too politically correct? Pinker vs. Spelke “feud”
There is no doubt that the discovery of the g factor was a really significant effort. No matter what the g factor (the product of it is IQ) is, it’s so important that it strongly correlates with formal education achievement, job prestige, job performance, morbidity and mortality. It is something extremely important but it is…

Are high-IQ people on the low socioeconomic ladder not so intelligent?
I am the last one to deny that the g factor is one of the most important concepts in humanities. However, some psychometrists were so enthusiastic when the median of cognitively less and more demanding professions and their subsequent correlation with the g factor showed that there are minimum requirements for different occupations (Schmidt, Hunter…

The Christian morals. Why do prisoners torture child abusers?
You can steal, rob, or murder an elderly person, but when you touch a child, it is a huge problem for prisoners in Christian cultures. One can object it may be natural as a huge percentage of prisoners were abused by someone at some point in their childhood (some estimates go from 30 to 70…

Serial killer Carl Panzram as a moral man, how to judge people, the legal system and free will
People are evolutionarily equipped to be highly vindictive. “Germans can be lucky! We could have killed them all because of what they had done in WW2!” A sometimes popular Czech opinion. “I wish Vladimir Putin the worst agony that can ever be!” Another popular opinion. When it comes to jail times, most people are for…
