Deeply ingrained religion, a plague
Even though I grew up in a non-religious environment, I know and I am fully aware religion is deeply ingrained in some people. But let’s say my knowledge was on the academic level – textbooks, peer-reviewed papers, books. I have seen many documents about megachurches in the USA, but it was my very first experience…

Titanic and evolutionary psychology
The Titanic disaster captivates people to this day. And evolutionary psychology offers insight into why such a tragedy holds a powerful place in collective memory. Titanic and evolutionary psychology have one key explanation that lies in our instinctual fascination with survival and mortality. The Titanic represents one of the most dramatic life-and-death scenarios. And humans,…

Acting like animals: migrating, traveling, and nomadism
Even if genetics, evolutionary biology, mathematics, physics, astrophysics, and chemistry didn’t exist and evolutionary psychology would have existed, our belief in God would be shaken, because people act like animals, thus God really did not want people to be animals. This knowledge goes well with migrating, traveling, and nomadism. Arnold Schwarzenegger said: “Everything I have,…

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…

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…
