News and decision-making made by prehistoric instincts
TikTok, YouTube, streaming services, movies, stories or media news. Everything is built into our evolutionary personality. Have you ever read a column that was only based on mathematics and statistics with little written text (not to mention whether it had a recurring appearance based on whether it is important or not)? Of course, you are…

Adults laughing at the stylish teenagers explained by Darwinism
Adults tend to laugh at teenagers as they have their idols, wear distinct clothes, have common musical tastes and influencers attract them. They laugh at teenagers because they are stylish. Not only it is a huge hypocrisy because adults are programmed to such a behavior which possesses evolutionary advantages as well. So does Darwinism explain it all? Development psychology in teenagers. Darwinism at its best Teenagers have…

The differences between pseudosciences and evolutionary psychology
Some people claim evolutionary psychology is a pseudoscience just like any other. No hard evidence, no core observations, no skeletons we could match with others and no DNA analysis that would tell us more about our prehistoric behavior that actually exists to these days. But putting it on the same level with astrology, creationism, homeopathy,…

New York City, the best mating place and our prehistoric instincts. Why is it different nowadays?
The world’s most populous cities hold a special place in the hearts of people. Traveling and immigration to other places are our evolutionary adaptations how to spread our selfish genes. When people live at their original places, they find a lack of mating partners, resources, reciprocal altruism, status potential, forming alliances and security (large groups…

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…

Serial killer Carl Panzram as a moral man, how to judge people, the legal system and free will
People are evolutionarily equipped to be highly vindictive. “Germans can be lucky! We could have killed them all because of what they had done in WW2!” A sometimes popular Czech opinion. “I wish Vladimir Putin the worst agony that can ever be!” Another popular opinion. When it comes to jail times, most people are for…

Why is impossible for a lot of people to leave their faith?
The truth that all religions are false is nearly (I always want to leave a certain piece of probability; unlike the vast majority of believers) indisputable. Just for starter: evolution (including that religion is a product of it), karma, soul, prayer, creation, Gods, cycle of life, death, and rebirth, or a single, finite earthly life…

Our moral system is extremely bad. Here are the facts
My atypical stance on human morality is given by books that are the best and the worst I have ever read. What kind of books? Evolutionary psychology and evolutionary biology. While the first one may be considered as a pseudoscience even though it bears a rational core and has thousands of rational claims that cannot…

What is really antisemitism and what is not? Ordinary Jews, big business, Zionism and religious clientelism
In 2023 and 2024, the reminiscence of terrible and horror-like antisemitism is re-surging as Hamas is taking delight in kidnapping, torturing, and killing Jewish people. Enormously despicable and heinous crimes breaking the elementary human rights. My view of the conflict is here. Even European Jewry are in distress, Jewish stars are being drawn on their…

Those billions of unborn shadows
When you kill a child in Christian culture they regard you as the worst scum. Prisoners will torture you because a child is a God’s gift and because they were abused in their childhood as well. However, if the child isn’t born at all everything goes. And this is, in my humble opinion, one of…
