Should we let scientific elites speak? No way!
Should we give the microphone to scientific elites just because they hold titles? No way. The public space is overrun by frauds. The media is full of professors who are unknown in real science, commentators who never touched logic, and philosophers who abuse words to hide their emptiness. The result is a society made weak…

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…

Limited knowledge and being always wrong on something
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability or knowledge overestimate their competence, while those with high ability tend to underestimate theirs, often because they are more aware of the complexity of the subject. But this paragraph is merely a part of the wider topic. My article aims to show our…

AI, the super-rich and the end of freethinking
I cannot hide that I was inspired by the article on Freethinkers International. My original idea was meant to show how the super-rich obedient AI is molding our mental processes so those who rule us are securely conducting their immoral business. However, the great idea is that the world of robots and AI also means…

Humanities educational minimum even if you hate humanities
I completely get it. You have an IQ of 145 and, a degree in engineering, like the Theory of general relativity, Number theory, quantum mechanics, and Set theory. But humanities? Because you hate humanities. As they say, humanities are for those less intellectually able. And while research requires an extremely high IQ, the exact sciences are objectively unmatched. I am not shy to…

Why even a modern conservative cannot be a freethinker?
I post this article both on my blog and Freethinkers International. And I am sure my own blog more than aware readers have their opinion already formed. Yet, the ongoing debate on Freethinkers International has provoked me to write this piece. We live in megacities, use electricity, have microchips, atomic bombs, high-speed trains, however, we…

Business-made philosophy – how the super-rich wanted the proper philosophy (analytic philosophy)
Initiatives arise from people or background eminences – a few examples of people’s initiatives: anti-war sentiments, abolition of childhood labor, Black Lives Matter, Women’s Suffrage Movement; a few examples of background eminences’ initiatives: corruption fight at the end of the 19th and beginning of 20th century in the USA, woke culture, LGBTQ+, global corruption fight…

Philosophy should stop talking about free will. It is none of its business
Philosophy couldn’t even come up with its own definition for the thousands of years of its own existence and they school us what definition of free will is. Whom we can imagine when saying the word “philosophy”? For example Willard Van Orman Quine, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Bertrand Russell, and even Martin Heidegger. Everything can be…

Why are anarchism and communism utopian?
Just like philosophy (or its continental side) or religion political ideologies don’t reflect scientific progress. When anarchism and communism came into existence there was no evolutionary theory. People believed in a blank state. People are born like blank sheets of paper. It just depends on how you raise them. Of course, people are selfish but…
