A security architecture for people, without people
Politics does not move because of elections. History does not change because of parliaments. The real shifts—the wars, the alliances, the economic collapses—begin in shadow meetings. In hotel suites, military bases, and diplomatic backdoors. A few decide what billions will endure. This is called security architecture. A set of informal, often invisible arrangements that determine…

Convincing to be atheist? IQ and fallacies prevail
People often assume that religious belief disappears once intelligence rises. They imagine that with enough education, reading, and logic, belief simply crumbles. But this illusion collapses the moment you meet a religious scholar. Or a spiritual software engineer. Or a theistic philosopher. Suddenly, it becomes obvious: intelligence does not prevent belief. In fact, it often…

Two mothers with strollers are talking about gassing the Gypsies
Two Caucasian mothers with strollers, caring for babies, are talking to each other. Mothers who should be raising their children keep switching discussion topics as they stroll. And one of them says: “They should really gas the Gypsies!” The other one nods. Do you think this is a form of art or some fantasy? No,…

American Jews as better scholars than Israeli ones
This is not about identity. It is about results. Again and again, American Jews outperform their Israeli counterparts in academia. Whether winning Nobel Prizes, shaping groundbreaking theories, or advancing science, philosophy, and law, American Jews dominate the intellectual stage. Meanwhile, Israeli Jews, despite sharing the same ethnic and religious roots, rarely achieve such global impact.…

Media for feeble-minded and IQ 140
“Don’t be surprised at all. One third of Czechs are idiots!” This quote was proclaimed by one late prominent Czech psychologist. He also pointed out that IQ 100 is nothing. If we put aside how rude it was, he said nothing but the truth. Look at newspapers and magazines! Are they written for someone who…

IQ vs culture
IQ is the “g factor” and this is it. While this bears the core truth, we also have mental strategies that stem from our cultural background. The topic of IQ vs culture is really broad and while we should not forget the core concept, we must approach such strategies that make Czech top managers versus…

Why I had disbelief in IQ?
Are you kidding me? You want to tell me there is a number which rules everything. Every single ability is derived from particular IQ. For a kid questioning everything not a good idea. So why did I have disbelief in IQ? But the number somehow mattered. I have observed pupils who had very good school…

Czech culture cannot make it big in science
I remember days when top Czech scientists were denying the Global warming on one Czech scientific website. And here we go. Why the Czech website? Because Czech scientists sometimes struggle with English. You don’t need Czech language to understand scientific news. Czech culture just cannot make it large in scientific fields. Bad governance: Bad top…

Blacks and Hispanics have genetically lower intelligence
Of course, there is no exact evidence that different races possess different intelligence (g factor (IQ)). Let’s pretend blacks have the same genes for intelligence as East Asians and white people. However, there have been experiments with the exchange of children of different races into respectively different families (black children into white families and vice…

Limited knowledge and being always wrong on something
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability or knowledge overestimate their competence, while those with high ability tend to underestimate theirs, often because they are more aware of the complexity of the subject. But this paragraph is merely a part of the wider topic. My article aims to show our…
