Weren’t Hitler an antisemite, he could have had the atomic bomb first
Who would say that the turn of war was thwarted by such a stupid thing as xenophobia? And yes, the European universities before WW2 were the best in the world and Americans were sending their best people there (unlike now). And given the Jewish superior intelligence, they performed far more than excellently at those universities.…

Other school success determinants than IQ. But in Czechia, you are idiot, fool and imbecile
Improving the formal educational system could go infinitely or to the end of this universe. We can have a “g factor” based formal educational system, or a system where only the best can teach, a system where the best are the principals. System based on scientific theories that pupils are glad to be part of…

Total parody of freedom of speech in academia
They say the freedom of speaking is most important. So academicians have a pretty difficult job to do because there is no freedom of speech. Promoting eugenics? The world of superhuman intelligence, zero criminals, no illnesses, wars or capitalism. You are dead to me! Not only races are not the same but they possess different…

Wikipedia – Instead of promoting rationality, they tell you how many people died somewhere
Who would think that Wikipedia which should promote scientific discourse, free inquiry, and rationality is living in obscurantism? People are evolutionary programmed that if you kill a child that is a problem (and, of course, it should be). And since the means of contraception didn’t exist nearly all the time people were in existence, when…

USA global business talent tests? Rather no. China could be a competitor
We have IQ tests that are deeply ingrained in mainstream science. We also have creativity tests, but there is also EQ (emotional intelligence), which I wouldn’t dare to call intelligence (intelligence is a very general ability to solve problems). But why did the psychometricians not develop tests on whether someone can be a great businessman,…

Elon Musk, evolutionary psychology and why we are obsessed with famous people?
As I have found this topic untouched by evolutionary psychology (please correct me if I am wrong), I will offer my amateurish view. People love to stock and read hundreds of books about famous people. They want to be just like them, want to be close to them and gain their attention. The hunger-gathering groups…

Can AI make new human genes that may make John von Neumann look stupid?
AI can enhance the human brain technologically but can it also find what genes are responsible for intelligence or perhaps invent new genes? In my opinion, the answer is yes. It would not only be suitable to keep pace with rapidly developing AI but also a vital step to make society smarter. One of the…

Boost the pupils’ IQ! The G factor (IQ) based education system
Yes, some may counterargument plenty and plenty tasks at the school are so close to the g factor (the product of it is IQ) that young pupils or even students get more and more intelligent in the proper way (in the g factor way) which may develop their talents or creativity connected to the core…

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.…
