What IQ (g factor) isn’t and the most common misconceptions
Despite it was discovered arguably lately (compared to physics, mathematics, engineering, and so on) it is one of the most statistically significant concepts in humanities. And as we know humanities not only know significantly less compared to exact sciences but their ways of proving are very limited. This article covers likely something that you already…

How the billionaires hate capitalism
OK, you are super-bright, have tons of talent and you are an overachiever. It is all good. Make billions, buy a set of luxurious cars. Some social equality among the common people should take place. But the thing is that even dollar billionaires cannot be content with this form of capitalism we are living in.…

Are Asians not creative? Few Nobel prizes in literature and science
They often say that Asians’ lack of creativity is a myth. And those who don’t think so point out to faulty formal education system that is around Asia. But what about the huge Asian American minority? These children are fully integrated into the American formal education system and we see no Nobelists or excellent novelists.…

Who brought more people alive? Capitalists or communists?
It isn’t actually a joke. In fact, I am neither a communist nor a socialist. But the Czechoslovakian regime had higher natality than nowadays Czech Republic regime. My favorable regime is definitely non-communistic. There are some kinds of academic, press, and civic freedoms. You can read Karl Popper, Bertrand Rusell, and so on, the thing…

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,…
