High IQ, yet stupid: A Czech case
There is a paradox in modern Czech society. We meet people with extremely high IQ, strong diplomas, and prestigious professions. They made it through psychology, medicine, and pharmaceuticals. On paper, they look like the intellectual elite. In reality, they are nothing of the sort. They lack rationality, cannot think critically, and collapse outside the narrow…

Can Trump become a dictator?
The United States still looks like the world’s strongest democracy. It has elections, courts, and a constitution that limits power. Yet democracies do not collapse overnight. They erode step by step. Leaders test the system, discover weak points, and go further. Donald Trump has already shown the ambition to push boundaries. He questions elections, attacks…

Kirk, hidden killers, millions will die because lack of health care
Donald Trump calls for the death penalty for the worst criminals. He frames it as strength, as proof of his will to deliver justice. However, the same Trump once admitted in an interview: “There are a lot of killers. You think our country’s so innocent?” That line was not an accident. Instead, it was a…

The abuse of titans’ super-intelligence
Humanity often praises its great minds. These titans of intellect shaped history, invented theories, and built systems that changed the world. Yet their brilliance did not always serve truth or humanity. Many of them abused their intelligence. They produced errors, false systems, or destructive inventions. The paradox is striking: super-intelligence has been both humanity’s greatest…

Vatican, a great driver of births
The Vatican may be one of the greatest drivers of births in the modern world. It uses its influence to shape policies, to lobby governments, and to push entire populations toward larger families. Yet the moral question is whether this pursuit truly creates fulfilled lives or whether it only multiplies misery. A moral system should…

Even some not so intelligent people don’t believe in God
Disbelief in God is often treated as a mark of superior intelligence. People imagine scientists, philosophers, or brilliant skeptics tearing down arguments of faith. But reality is not that simple. Even some not so intelligent people do not believe in God. They did not arrive there through complex reasoning. They reached it by relying on…

Freethinkers, but restrained by everything
Freethinkers present themselves as challengers of dogma, defenders of independence, and voices of courage. Yet their reality is far less heroic. They face walls built by culture, academia, and money. Some ideas move easily with the current, while others drown before they ever surface. Power chooses which ones may live and which must vanish. Truth…

Read between the lines, if you are an intelligent reader
They always say there is no background political process. But why do they always insinuate (journalists) that there is something like that? So you must read between the lines. This article is a selection of quotes I have collected over time. They are from both English and Czech media. These are just pieces, but they…

The case of developing countries: Religion as a detriment
Religion is often described as a source of morality, community, and identity. Yet in much of the developing world, it works as a barrier. It blocks progress, distorts governance, undermines education, and reinforces inequality. Unlike in many developed countries where religion has been reduced to a private matter, in developing states it still governs public…

Dictators rule by fear, democracies by hidden elites
Totalitarian regimes thrive on clarity. The state names the enemy openly, propaganda repeats it endlessly, and every citizen knows who to fear. Stalin labeled kulaks and wreckers. Hitler made Jews and Communists the ultimate threat. Mao identified counter-revolutionaries and rightists. These regimes could not survive without pointing to a visible enemy. The methods were brutal…
