Religion vs. reality: overpresence of deity
A lot of been described in connection with religions in terms of rationality. Such arguments didn’t omit the perception of respective spiritual power. However, for people who are not biologically inclined to have spiritual experience (just like me), there needs to be added further argumentation. Also, religion vs. reality can be useful for people who…

Are humans worse than animals?
Denailing, boiling to death in a boiler, putting needles below the nails, brutal beatings, waterboarding, electroshocks, stress positions, sleep deprivation, starvation, and temperature extremes. As I am writing this article, a minimum of tens of thousands of people are undergoing this “humane” treatment (even because of the Russo-Ukrainian War). So are humans worse than animals?…

Golden Rule and its criticism
The Golden Rule can be simplified: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” And this may sound like something perfect to various moral systems all around the world. But I offer a heavy criticism of the Golden Rule. Not only it isn’t much good in theory, but humankind is (surprisingly) never…

Your idol is an animal
Is your idol an animal? Lots of people have their idols. Actors, leaders, businessmen, dissidents, influencers, singers, tech industry giants, and so on. They idolize them in an absurd way as they are the most moral, attractive, able, and eligible. Not only that the current human morality makes little sense. But your idol is most…

Ten Commandments – extensive critique
They always say that if people act as the Ten Commandments tell, the world would be a perfect place. Not only this is not true, but actually Ten Commandments direct this world into a really ugly place. Here is my extensive critique. Basics for morality? Oh no! Christians consider the Ten Commandments a basis for…

US president as the head of the pack killed? Let’s start WW3
I could not be more disappointed in how people strongly preserve their animalistic behavior. We have smart AI, computers, chips, chemistry, and quantum mechanics, yet the mentality of a caveman. The 300 million country gets the head of the pack killed, so let’s start WW3. Kill a US president and a war starts! The sitting…

Your wonderful city view is just a mating place
Homo sapiens are often obsessed with skylines (or city views), whether it is Shangai, New York City, London etc. But it is nothing but a mere evolutionary adaptation (a mating place) of how to spread your selfish genes. Of course, you can have a bond between your birthplace and so on. However, evolutionary fitness attraction…

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…

How living in disguise is normal for people
I was born after the fall of communism in Eastern Europe. And they always told me how it was normal living in disguise. Pretending you like the regime, concealing your opinions, revealing your real preference only in privacy. Since the new regime was the best that has ever happened, now it is not normal living in disguise. But it was totally wrong. To be honest with you, when…

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…
