If the DNA was known in Hitler’s era, all countries would have had to conduct eugenics
Imagine that DNA was discovered during Hitler’s era and modification of embryos was available at the same time. Fearless, extremely immoral, crime-less, ecstatically happy, enormously healthy super-soldiers with IQ of 190 would be present in the Third Reich if massive genome research would have undergone. Not only the Third Reich’s scientific research would win by…

Total nonsense. Liberal when young, you have no heart. Not conservative when older you have no brain
“If you’re not a liberal when you’re 25, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative by the time you’re 35, you have no brain.” This quote is misattributed to Winston Churchill and is often used by conservatives to point out their blind faith. Yes, if you have an IQ of 85 which is…

What would the real Neo-Nazism look like?
The Neo-Nazis live in a world where the old Nazi ideas prevail. This is my outline of what would the real Neo-Nazism look like. In this new ideology, it doesn’t matter what race you are. It matters whether you are genetically or technologically improved. Since the New Nazis invested vast of money in research on…

Single proof why the Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence may be genetically given
I recall the old article about Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence on Wikipedia. You couldn’t have thought out more variations of how things were and could have been. The aforementioned article no longer exists but the notion of Ashkenazi intelligence is still here. No doubt little Ashkenazi Jewish children live in more than a pushy culture. But…

Psychiatry, the dubious science
In the 1900’s there were automobiles, Einstein’s Theory of relativity, sophisticated mathematics, Newtonian physics, evolution theory, and then psychiatry. No hard evidence, no statistical evidence, just observance with all the observational biases. There was no schizophrenia but dementia praecox because of early onset and rapidly deteriorating cognitive deficits. Oh, wait! The cognitive deficits were remarkably…

Make sure American scientists make those discoveries, other countries don’t
German universities were the best in the world prior to WW2. After total economical (and therefore political) submission to the US, UK, and France, their universities became mediocre (with some exemptions). Is that an accident or a purpose? Science, technology, and the military are connected to a high degree. With the domination in these areas,…

Bouncer vs. John von Neumann
Christopher Langan may be the smartest man on this planet in therm of IQ yet his intellectual abilities weren’t futile at all. Once hired as a club bouncer, his IQ may match the IQ of John von Neumann, arguably one of the smartest men of all time. The difference is that von Neumann contributed significantly…

Genes for baby from Neumann, Godel and Einstein
Imagine combining these geniuses into one person. Since we have discovered the DNA, combining these 3 gentlemen is not impossible. Yes, it is a joke. The genes interactions are so specific that the born baby would possess intelligence quite close to above average or even average. But we should discover what genes are responsible for…

Warren Buffett is wrong, talent for investing goes hand in hand with IQ
Legendary investor Warren Buffett famously proclaimed: “The good news I can tell you is that to be a great investor you don’t have to have a terrific IQ. If you’ve got 160 IQ, sell 30 points to somebody else because you won’t need it in investing. What you do need is the right temperament.” Yes,…

30 IQ points lower when old. It is proven we are really getting dumber as we age
Arguably one of the most statistically significant concepts in humanities, the g factor (the product of it is intelligence quotient; IQ), is divided into two parts: performance (fluid) and verbal (crystallized). Each of these parts, measured by a statistical tool specially developed for it (factor analysis), is connected somehow to creativity, talents, latent inhibition and…
