Warren Buffett is wrong, talent for investing goes hand in hand with IQ
Legendary investor Warren Buffett famously proclaimed: “The good news I can tell you is that to be a great investor you don’t have to have a terrific IQ. If you’ve got 160 IQ, sell 30 points to somebody else because you won’t need it in investing. What you do need is the right temperament.” Yes,…

30 IQ points lower when old. It is proven we are really getting dumber as we age
Arguably one of the most statistically significant concepts in humanities, the g factor (the product of it is intelligence quotient; IQ), is divided into two parts: performance (fluid) and verbal (crystallized). Each of these parts, measured by a statistical tool specially developed for it (factor analysis), is connected somehow to creativity, talents, latent inhibition and…

How to convince intelligent people who don’t believe in IQ (g factor)
Even enormously intelligent people, notably James Sidis, expressed their doubt about intelligence quotient. So you want to tell me that a person is more intelligent in every possible manner? Does a manager with IQ of 140 have better performance than a manager with IQ of 130? I have heard highly intelligent people saying pretty stupid…

Shoot the f***ing Germans! Former Czechoslovakian president Edvard Beneš as a war criminal
A skilled diplomat, humanist, intellectual and the second Czechoslovakian president. That was all Edvard Beneš who was designed as the successor to Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (who is mainly known as a philosopher in the West). The major powers already decided the Eastern European Germans must be repatriated (Czechoslovakia had a considerably large German minority (around…

The silent Holocaust – factory farming and torture
Of course, the animals have never been born if we weren’t bred them. But what kind of life do they have? Only suffering and suffering. I have seen thousands of videos of animals having been tortured. The issue is not only sporadic but it is overwhelmingly systematic. Who can work in the factory farming industry?…

My advice to disadvantaged African-Americans
Being an African-American in the USA is a tough job. You are discriminated in every possible field you can imagine. Disproportional police brutality, disproportional criminal sentences, being locked up in a ghetto, living in poverty and poor educational system. However, if the government appears not to care you have to seize your opportunity. And I…

Hitler would have shot through his head after having been given the national DNA results
The Nazis have believed in racial theories that were not broadly accepted. Yes, Americans adhered to theories that Italians, Jews, and East Europeans are subhuman, however, even Mussolini didn’t believe in these theories. The Nazis regarded cultures as races. And while Czechs or Poles really have some parts of Slavic culture (notably languages) they are…
