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…

Measure IQ of every single world citizen
If the IQ of every single world’s citizen was measured, the pool of geniuses would be radically extended. Intellectually gifted would be put to global education system founded by the developed nations. I strongly do believe there is Einstein or von Neumann among us but he didn’t get his chance. The whole thing wouldn’t be…

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…

People of color cannot govern their nations. What about Ukraine?
People often say the colored people cannot govern their nations because of their inferior genetics. And while there may be some statistics providing the facts that their level of governance is inferior we should also note the culture plays a major role. Look at Ukraine. This country is not only not ready for democracy but…

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…

The global formal educational system
There are tens of thousands of geniuses in developing countries. I believe there are people with brains as John von Neumann possessed. Yet their education system makes it impossible to attain such positions where they would capitalize on their talent. Or look at countries like the Czech Republic. The smartest ones go to the business,…

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…

Our high intelligence gives us an opportunity to be so wrong
Imagine duck or dog believing in God. They can’t. They are not smart enough. But they also don’t possess cognitive biases, formal fallacies and critical thinking. Our brilliant intelligence possesses a dark side. If you or I were willing to devote the time for it, we would invent 10 000 religions with completely different explanations…
