Psychopaths have more conscience than your pet
We love our pets. We treat them like family. They sleep in our homes. We imagine they feel what we feel. We think they understand. But this is a delusion. Not just a small one—a complete misreading of what pets are. The truth is unsettling. Your pet has no conscience. It does not know right…

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…

The past is not black and white – it is now
They show you the past in black and white. Blurry. Shaky. Distant. The footage is grainy, the voices muffled, and the movements too fast or too slow. The effect is immediate: this is something far away. Not part of your life. Just a story. But that is false. The past did not look like this.…

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…

They control politicians from behind. People don’t care
I wrote tons of articles about how politics is a hostage of Big Banks, super-rich families and international companies. And it wasn’t just me. Of course, I immerse into details, revealing – at least I hope – the whole truth. The mainstream media, however, give you more than an important hint. Guess what? Even highly…

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…

Stupid American division: Republicans vs Democracts
Vote for our stupid monkey-like animalistic ideology and the world suddenly has meaning (except for God, of course). You will live in abundance, society makes sense, there is ultimate right or wrong derived from these ideologies. So let’s take a look at how stupid American political division destroys the country and how the super-rich use…

On American exceptionalism and how people are attracted to it
No country can claim that it is exceptional, as the self-fulfilling prophecy never materializes. American exceptionalism isn’t different at all. This article aims at the evolutionary roots behind the pillars the U.S. builds its reputation on. It also examines the historic desire to immigrate to the US. There may be, of course, rational reasons, why…
