Supersmart AI in 19th century. Human labor could have been eradicated centuries ago
In my culture, they often say you could achieve more, have a better education. It is a pity for the humanity that you have such a job (an underachiever). This cannot be more laughable. It looks like human society is doing everything to improve its condition and scientific achievements. Buying a new mansion, super-duper cars,…

Do you want to be a top politician? You must be a grand actor or dumb
Imagine a political constellation you can easily use to gain political capital and go up the ladder in politics. But you don’t use it because it would reveal you are smart and all the lobbyists, movers-and-shakers, crooks, super-rich families and lodges would teach you a lesson. One Czech former prime minister (and in my opinion,…

Why do famous persons with extremely high IQs never tell the number?
I have a page about IQ estimates of geniuses. But why the estimates? The persons involved must likely have taken an IQ test in their lifetimes (excluding those who didn’t have that opportunity because we had no clue about the “g factor” back then). We may say it is their privacy, but people tend to…

Wikipedia as a health hazard! Never trust it with your health! I paid the heavy price because of their lousy and ridiculous featured article about schizophrenia
More than ten years ago, I suffered from delusions (I didn’t know these were delusions), cognitive impairment, depression and severe negative symptoms (lack of emotions, not enjoying anything). Since I had a turbulent relationship with my psychiatrist who also didn’t warn me about the possibility of having schizophrenia, I relied mainly on a featured article…

Richard Dawkins doesn’t like the British people. And they are one of the least worst
Imagine a completely different country than the Czech Republic is, better in all of aspects – big salaries, great flawless people that you like all of them, excellent justice system, orderliness, communist-like social net, capitalistic profits, very polite politics. A completely different world. I used to hold British people in high regard unless I realized…

Scientists should explore how to stop performance IQ decline
The performance part has a steady decline as you age. If you want to learn something and you postpone it, hurry up, it may be late. “It begins in the mid-20s and continues steadily until it reaches more than 30 points in the late 80s (a peak of 101 at 20–24 versus 70 in old…

No wars as a possibility by IQ enhancement: Scientific advancement vs. social progress
Computational science or the Theory of relativity are difficult to grasp. But is far more difficult to stop poisoning billions of brown rats without any anesthesia or end shaming development for cancer cure (and it wouldn’t actually cost much). Or not waging wars. It was not the case that I wouldn’t have liked the kindergarten.…

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…

What would humanity be capable of if the best brains would be working for the government?
When I was a kid I childishly presumed that scientists were doing their best and trying to improve society. Even before putting these childish things away, I – as a young philosopher – started questioning the very human morality. And after reading evolutionary psychology and evolutionary biology, I concluded believe not only human morality is…

Pay the smartest people to go into politics
If the government collects taxes from startups of the most brilliant minds why not pay enormous money to the geniuses to go into politics? We have dumb politicians, and clever lobbyists that play them around. And since we would make it criminal to lobby or influence the politics from the outside there would be no…
