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…

Weren’t Hitler an antisemite, he could have had the atomic bomb first
Who would say that the turn of war was thwarted by such a stupid thing as xenophobia? And yes, the European universities before WW2 were the best in the world and Americans were sending their best people there (unlike now). And given the Jewish superior intelligence, they performed far more than excellently at those universities.…

Other school success determinants than IQ. But in Czechia, you are idiot, fool and imbecile
Improving the formal educational system could go infinitely or to the end of this universe. We can have a “g factor” based formal educational system, or a system where only the best can teach, a system where the best are the principals. System based on scientific theories that pupils are glad to be part of…

Total parody of freedom of speech in academia
They say the freedom of speaking is most important. So academicians have a pretty difficult job to do because there is no freedom of speech. Promoting eugenics? The world of superhuman intelligence, zero criminals, no illnesses, wars or capitalism. You are dead to me! Not only races are not the same but they possess different…

USA global business talent tests? Rather no. China could be a competitor
We have IQ tests that are deeply ingrained in mainstream science. We also have creativity tests, but there is also EQ (emotional intelligence), which I wouldn’t dare to call intelligence (intelligence is a very general ability to solve problems). But why did the psychometricians not develop tests on whether someone can be a great businessman,…

Elon Musk, evolutionary psychology and why we are obsessed with famous people?
As I have found this topic untouched by evolutionary psychology (please correct me if I am wrong), I will offer my amateurish view. People love to stock and read hundreds of books about famous people. They want to be just like them, want to be close to them and gain their attention. The hunger-gathering groups…

Can AI make new human genes that may make John von Neumann look stupid?
AI can enhance the human brain technologically but can it also find what genes are responsible for intelligence or perhaps invent new genes? In my opinion, the answer is yes. It would not only be suitable to keep pace with rapidly developing AI but also a vital step to make society smarter. One of the…
