The guilty conscience of not supporting Freethinkers International
Freethinkers International is not just another cause. It is a mission that reaches where others refuse to go. In a world flooded with safe, fashionable charities and politically polished activism, this organization steps into danger. It defends the people no one dares to help. It saves lives ignored by the mainstream. And yet, tragically, it…

Nationalize churches? One agency promoting atheism
First, they asked us to respect religion. Then, they demanded tax exemptions. Eventually, they bought real estate, ran schools, and influenced governments. All along, they played victims. Meanwhile, they grew rich, powerful, and untouchable. So nationalize them. For too long, churches have escaped scrutiny. They present themselves as moral institutions while hoarding obscene wealth. The…

Dystopia: People don’t do things because of morality
Well-read people are fully aware that people do things because of resources (in today’s society: money, stocks, cars, and so on) and not morality. Of course, we have complex submissive-dominant relationships, which may be based on morality (for example, paramedics), and people promote which relationships should exist (for example, the police, firefighters), but people don’t…

The past is not black and white – it is now
They show you the past in black and white. Blurry. Shaky. Distant. The footage is grainy, the voices muffled, and the movements too fast or too slow. The effect is immediate: this is something far away. Not part of your life. Just a story. But that is false. The past did not look like this.…

Media for feeble-minded and IQ 140
“Don’t be surprised at all. One third of Czechs are idiots!” This quote was proclaimed by one late prominent Czech psychologist. He also pointed out that IQ 100 is nothing. If we put aside how rude it was, he said nothing but the truth. Look at newspapers and magazines! Are they written for someone who…

Shaking hands with prominents? Whom yes and no?
You will be completely right to say why you should be interested in the opinions of some European blogger. But this is much bigger. It goes to what meta-ethics is and what ethics are used. What the particular individual had done, what kind of conduct suitable for his profession should have been. So shaking hands…

The Bible vs freedom of speech: Double standard
Free speech is not what they claim. It is not neutral, it is not honest. It does not defend truth—it defends power. Today, one tweet can destroy your life. A satirical meme? Hate speech. A scientific graph? Misinformation. A religious critique? Censorship. What about the Bible? And yet, the Bible—violent, tribal, soaked in blood—gets protected.…

Why we admire socioeconomic success: Path through life
Human admiration is not random. It is programmed. From an early age, we stare in awe at doctors, entrepreneurs, athletes, and artists. Later, we begin chasing their status ourselves. But why? Why do we worship success in the first place? The answer is not modern. It is ancient. Evolutionary psychology explains it better than any…

They control politicians from behind. People don’t care
I wrote tons of articles about how politics is a hostage of Big Banks, super-rich families and international companies. And it wasn’t just me. Of course, I immerse into details, revealing – at least I hope – the whole truth. The mainstream media, however, give you more than an important hint. Guess what? Even highly…

No allegories. Religion is meant literally
Religions are not poems. They are not parables, they are declarations. They do not ask to be interpreted—they demand to be obeyed. That is what people forget. Or worse, what they intentionally overlook. Because religion is meant literally. Today, many religious leaders tell us not to worry. They claim it is all symbolic. That there…
