How to convince intelligent people who don’t believe in IQ (g factor)
Even enormously intelligent people, notably James Sidis, expressed their doubt about intelligence quotient. So you want to tell me that a person is more intelligent in every possible manner? Does a manager with IQ of 140 have better performance than a manager with IQ of 130? I have heard highly intelligent people saying pretty stupid…

My advice to disadvantaged African-Americans
Being an African-American in the USA is a tough job. You are discriminated in every possible field you can imagine. Disproportional police brutality, disproportional criminal sentences, being locked up in a ghetto, living in poverty and poor educational system. However, if the government appears not to care you have to seize your opportunity. And I…

Mark Zuckerberg, from an avid enthusiast to a politician
You are a young lad, super-ambitious, have an IQ of 160, a bunch of talents and you create a successful startup. But such a startup poses risks for the super-rich interest groups controlling the US. They need to use the technology, they need to spy upon their controlled population. So they will buy the majority…

The malevolent purpose of the formal education system
I have never understood why the American private high schools suck (sorry, I cannot put it in another way). I understood the poor level of the state schools, but private ones? These are schools for the 19th century (or for the Middle Ages). And what would I put into their curriculum? Mathematics (even in a…

Human races as dog races
African-Americans are genetically prone to crime. Hispanics are genetically prone the crime. All of the races differ in their behavior. It is still unbelievable some people connect differences among human races to dog races. So let’s put it straight. Gorillas from the same forest are genetically more distant than the most distant human races on…

The silliest of the silly. You have IQ 120 and then it’s over
Have you heard this? When you have an IQ of 120 and more it doesn’t matter anymore. There are two possibilities how the proponents of this meant it: 1. There is progress of intelligence over IQ of 120 but doesn’t matter; that signals that people with IQs of 160 are on the same level as…

Everything you need to know why East Asian universities are lagging
No one is denying Japan or South Korea are developed high-income countries. Their universities can definitely teach how to construct buildings, roads, how to build a nuclear plant, subway system, how to make telephones, and so on. Their universities (unlike the Czech ones) are well-funded, yet they are not on par with the quality of…

Unbelievable and preposterous Joe Biden rates Polish intelligence. How dare you!
“Well, look what’s happened. Look what started to seep in, beginning and probably even with candidates during our administration. We stopped showing up at the Polish American club. We stopped showing up, and we all went to you, the really smart people. We had a new kind of coalition we were putting together. College-educated women…

Assessing dead people IQ is pseudoscience
A widespread phenomenon has hit us. We don’t know the IQ of a dead person (lots of time a genius) so we use stylometry. And while there may be a correlation between, for example, the complexity of the written text and a living person’s IQ, the IQ tests are here to actually test people. We…

Humanities vs. exact sciences
Some people claim exact sciences and humanities are on the same level. They say the same things are done with different tools. Nothing can be far from the truth. Imagine Newton’s physics in the 1600s. The extremely complex and provable system of equations and their geometric illustrations. The same thing goes with Einstein’s Theory of…
