The total anti-Zionism craze
Let us start with a basic constraint; it matters more than ideology. Once a functional state exists and millions of people live inside it, you cannot morally argue for its destruction. You can criticize an ideology; however, you cannot erase a society without mass violence. Any position that ignores this fact stops being political and…

The feeling of being stupid and knowing better
When I walk through my hometown of Jičín and pass its churches, I do not feel reverence; instead, I observe evidence. I move between the medieval church from the 13th or 14th century and the newer church from the 1600s; together, they form a continuous record of how humans once explained reality. These buildings do…

From helpful bankers to today’s sociopaths
Power hides behind respectable faces; yet its shape changes with every century. Presidents rise and fall. Bankers remain. And when we trace this relationship through history, a disturbing shift appears. The alliance begins with helpful advisers. It ends with sociopaths who treat nations like disposable assets. We travel from cooperation to domination; the arc becomes…

How AI ends language and begins thought communication
We stand at the edge of a transformation that will redefine what communication even means; we move toward a moment when language stops serving as the vehicle for thought and becomes nothing more than a relic of biological limitation. And therefore we must look at how AI advances push us toward that horizon; we must…

Should the US attack Venezuela?
The question sounds insane at first. Yet nothing about Venezuela feels normal now. The country collapsed. People starve. Hospitals resemble war zones. Millions flee by foot. And the world watches a disaster that did not appear from nothing. The US helped build the system that failed. It pressured Venezuela for decades. It weaponised the dollar,…

Russia tortures POWs. India and China don’t care
Ukrainian prisoners freed from Russian camps describe cruelty that no country can ignore. Their accounts come from penal colonies deep inside Russia, especially one in Mordovia. The place does not function as a prison. It functions as a torture site. These men describe beatings, humiliation, electric shocks, and deliberate neglect. Their stories force a hard…

Enlightenment echoes in a fragmented century
The Enlightenment reshaped how humanity thinks, argues, and governs. It turned reason into a public force rather than a private habit, and it built the mental architecture of modern life. Today we swim in digital noise, emotional narratives, identity battles, and ideological tribalism. Therefore the Enlightenment feels both triumphant and threatened. People enjoy technologies that…

Why humans invent eternity: Different afterlives, one psychology
Human beings fear death more than anything else. The body rejects it. The mind rejects it even more. Every civilization tried to answer this fear with stories of eternity. Some promised paradise. Others threatened torment. Some imagined endless cycles of rebirth. A few rejected immortality entirely. All attempted to give shape to the unknown. Yet…

Why are people so obsessed with IQ?
People obsess about IQ because it gives them a simple story in a world that feels impossible to decode. They want certainty, they want ranking. They want a number that answers questions they feel too afraid to ask. IQ (one of the most prominent scientific concepts in the humanities) offers exactly that. It promises clarity,…

Wikipedia: Jesus yes, Rothschilds no
Wikipedia has a longstanding practice of promoting Jesus Christ as a real figure who existed. The issue is that those “arguments and evidence” are ad hoc. If Christian scholars defy Jesus’ existence, their career may end. People without critical thinking accept whatever appears polished and repeated. They trust the first source they see, they trust…
