What do these curves mean?
Graphs and curves surround us, whether we study psychology, economics, education, or public policy. These visual shapes do not merely decorate academic reports—they reveal profound truths about how the world works. From intelligence and income to happiness and crime, curves condense complex systems into clear insights. But only if we know how to read them.…

9/11 terrorists didn’t envision 4.5 million deaths
September 11, 2001. Nearly 3,000 civilians died within hours. The images pierced the world’s mind. Skyscrapers collapsed. Firefighters wept. Families vanished. The shock gripped every screen. But the aftermath did far more damage. While the attacks lasted a single morning, the consequences reshaped the 21st century. What began as a terrorist assault became a political…

Struggle to have empathy with a regular voter?
Most people believe they understand politics. They rarely study political history. They seldom investigate how global capital influences decisions. Yet they speak about politics with confidence. Not because they know, but because they see. And what they see appears absurd. Some people, who are political junkies, and know the map may not be able to…

Submissive–dominant relationships as a disaster
From birth to death, most people follow. They obey teachers, they nod to bosses. They bow to laws; they click “accept” without reading. And they lower their voice near police. They stay quiet at work. They endure bureaucracy. And they wait—always wait—for someone above them to approve, explain, or decide. They are not stupid, they…

Who is to blame for wars?
People often search for simple answers. They blame the dictator, they blame the extremist. They blame the foreigner. Yet the truth behind wars is far from simple. It is layered, invisible, and deeply structural. Wars do not erupt randomly. Rather, they emerge from calculated decisions, quiet alliances, and systems designed to reward conflict. And because…

Convincing to be atheist? IQ and fallacies prevail
People often assume that religious belief disappears once intelligence rises. They imagine that with enough education, reading, and logic, belief simply crumbles. But this illusion collapses the moment you meet a religious scholar. Or a spiritual software engineer. Or a theistic philosopher. Suddenly, it becomes obvious: intelligence does not prevent belief. In fact, it often…

Why billionaires give. But the real rulers never do
Billionaires often appear generous. Media outlets praise them for their philanthropic efforts. Award ceremonies celebrate their foundations. Documentaries follow their missions. Yet, something far more calculated hides beneath the surface. Not all billionaires give. And those who do, usually gain. Most importantly, the super-rich families rarely give anything at all. Their world is not built…

Professional conspiracy theorists: False prophets
They act like rebels. They speak like prophets. But they sell like marketers. Today’s conspiracy theorists are not lonely investigators or rogue philosophers. They are professionals, they record podcasts. And they sell books. They monetize paranoia. Yet despite all their dramatic claims, they never say who actually rules the world. They never name the real…

Two mothers with strollers are talking about gassing the Gypsies
Two Caucasian mothers with strollers, caring for babies, are talking to each other. Mothers who should be raising their children keep switching discussion topics as they stroll. And one of them says: “They should really gas the Gypsies!” The other one nods. Do you think this is a form of art or some fantasy? No,…

Mossad allowed to kill, therefore it is so good
I once heard it from an ex-KGB officer: every agency kills. But Mossad? Mossad is allowed. Most countries kill and lie. Israel kills and explains. That turns Mossad into something strange: a legalized assassin with a heroic reputation. And since every other agency in the Middle East kills, we are told Mossad must kill to…
