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…

American Dream dissected
The American Dream is not about freedom, fairness, or moral brilliance. It is about evolutionary instinct. More precisely, it is about joining the most dominant, well-fed, well-armed, and globally influential tribe in the modern human ecosystem. From an evolutionary standpoint, people do not migrate toward justice—they migrate toward dominance. The American Dream is not a…

How can science make you antisocial?
Science does not make you antisocial because of politics. Nor is it because of adulation among scholars, corrupt academia, or the power games described in my article on academic clientelism and academic-political incest. That is a different disease. The real cause is far more profound—and far more disturbing. It lies in what science actually reveals.…

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…

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…

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…

The bloody and brutal history of church building
This evolutionary adaptation—or by-product—led us to build churches. But it also brought blood. I have found this just because a random church visit that made me really sick. I should have never read evolutionary psychology and biology. Why? Because they reveal ugly truth about Homo sapiens nature. All of the evolutionary strategies to boost people’s…

Swear on an evolutionary biology textbook instead of the Bible
One of the most foolish things American presidents do is to swear on the Bible. The Bible’s New Testament is full of contradicting, lying, illogical, cognitively biased statements with no evidence provided, it denies the truth, misleads the reader, perverts reality, alienates people against each other, is full of formal fallacies, is racist, homophobic, superstitious,…

Intellectual property vs morality
“Would you steal a bread from a shop?” Some of these questions go when talking about internet piracy. Some people brag about strictly following the policies of intellectual property owners. But what we have to do before making claims about Intellectual property? Question the innate biological human morality. The origins of human morality Human morality…

Still believe in God? 250 arguments you shouldn’t
I have expanded my first edition of the book Arguments for Atheism to 250 Arguments for Atheism, which is very rich in arguments. It is designed for everyone—from the casual reader to the dedicated philosophy enthusiast. Do you believe in a personal God or a deistic God (an impersonal God)? This free book completely destroys…
