Abortion and reproductive rights in this poor moral system
This article was difficult to write because I stand for a completely different moral system than we live in now. You may not contain your laughter – but it is creating as many individuals (humans, robots with consciousness) who will live the most ecstatic moments. Maybe it is total utilitarianism or some edited form of…

How religion thwarts scientific, economic and societal progress
Iran has been involved in nuclear development for nearly 70 years. Its suspected efforts toward a weapon have been ongoing for about 30 to 40 years. Do you think religion thwarts scientific progress? It would take the Czech Republic approximately 1 to 5 years to develop a nuclear weapon, depending on access to materials and…

A Beginner’s Guide to Critical Thinking
In 2024, there is information overload. In the country where I live, media and their super-rich owners don’t compete over who brings the news first anymore. They just get their shared power and the people above them tell them what to write and which medium to include to. Floods, high casualties, and accidents just don’t…

The biggest problem in politics is the stupidity of people
Every single US voter is fully aware that there are tens of patron-client networks ridden through American politics that grossly disrupt the process detrimental to every citizen. So he or she daily reads media based on information from the political background devoid of our prehistoric like of story-telling. Just statistics and mathematics. No campaign, just…

Warren Buffett and George Soros share one biggest hypocrisy
Even as an economically semi-literate person, I couldn’t have avoided the mention of the financial heavyweights – Warren Buffett and George Soros. When these two claim something, people are nowhere from speculating: Are they selling or buying? Buffett famously proclaimed: “The good news I can tell you is that to be a great investor you…

Religions and human rights? Like dogs and cats
Religions are nothing but man-made, superstitious myths with no internal logic or evidence. The vast majority of the world’s major religions were created in an era when we knew little about the nature of the world: there were no peer-reviewed articles, no professional knowledge-makers, and the average IQ of the general population was low, with…

Imagine if IQ was everything and an exact science
IQ is nearly everything. Imagine a group with respectively different average IQs: 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160. Now imagine being able to have a discussion with the members of the groups. It goes without saying you would be able to assign respective numbers to every group. There are extremely significant correlations between median average…

The US super-rich groups may be good. But at what cost?
The super-rich families ruling the US, which is something evidence-based, may act to benefit the US citizens. I guess you think I have gone mad again. No, the US super-rich groups may really be useful. In this article, I will present what are the benefits and negatives of the ruling forces of the US. When…

John Nash – without schizophrenia, the smartest man
A few people (unlike me) suffering from schizophrenia can lead a life with a full-time job. John Fobes Nash, who made fundamental contributions to game theory, real algebraic geometry, differential geometry, and partial differential equations, is a fine example (even though he had episodes when he was unable to practice the work as a scientist).…

Why the best of the best should be doctors?
I have made appointments with thousands of doctors. Yet I was highly suspicious of them. Or should I put it flat-out? “Goddamn it, how come they can be doctors?” I had been reading psychiatric forums (for patients) in English so most of the contributors were Americans. And their best finding? One in twenty psychiatrists is…
