Who really creates start-ups? It is not the “inventors”
Tons of interviews were made and tons of books were written about the alleged “inventors” of the biggest start-ups. However, the reality lies somewhere else. Imagine the US as a country completely controlled by a few super-rich groups. Some of them are very close to secret services apparatus that has tens of financial resources more…

Start-ups, the super-rich, banking, politics. Why are connections mostly harmful?
Connections can be divided into trust issues (you know well that the person would conduct the desirable way you want) and creating the possibility of anything (given the ability of the contact). Both of these can be attributed to the evolution of homo sapiens and can be useful and detrimental to humankind. After the Czechoslovakia…

Why even a modern conservative cannot be a freethinker?
I post this article both on my blog and Freethinkers International. And I am sure my own blog more than aware readers have their opinion already formed. Yet, the ongoing debate on Freethinkers International has provoked me to write this piece. We live in megacities, use electricity, have microchips, atomic bombs, high-speed trains, however, we…

What if Clinton had won? More democracy and a more peaceful world
Don’t get me wrong! The Clintons were political predators who destroyed the careers of tons of politicians. They were (or maybe are) keeping records of enemies they needed to destroy. Needless to say, politics is a cruel discipline, you will get out of the game even though it may be morally completely wrong (from the…

Nas mnogo? Do Americans cherish life the same way as Russians do?
I was met with plenty of anecdotal evidence that Russian people have a huge disregard for human life: gulags, famines, extrajudicial killings, the Russian Civil War, 2014 Russo-Ukrainian War. They used to say “nas mnogo” (there are plenty of us) which doesn’t require any comment further. One division after division lost without any cry. If…

Putin is neither a psychopath nor has Asperger’s syndrome
As a person suffering from the disease that belongs to the autistic spectrum myself, I recall the old official American report claiming Vladimir Putin has Asperger’s syndrome. Leave the aspect that the report may have had some side intentions (discredit him in his official ranks etc.) and let’s take a look at the notion itself.…

My very atypical stance on conspiracy theories
Around 99 % of conspiracy theories are very implausible, made either by people or the secret services themselves. Why the secret services? Because more conspiracy theories are there and the more stupid the given conspiracy theories appear the more unlikely they are being supported. The secret services also support their makers so the bigger the…

Do you want to be a top politician? You must be a grand actor or dumb
Imagine a political constellation you can easily use to gain political capital and go up the ladder in politics. But you don’t use it because it would reveal you are smart and all the lobbyists, movers-and-shakers, crooks, super-rich families and lodges would teach you a lesson. One Czech former prime minister (and in my opinion,…

Big money, secret services and why Wikipedia may not be independent?
Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, the founders of Wikipedia, did a terrific thing by not making Wikipedia a big commercial project. They could have been dollar billionaires easily. But they preferred making Wikipedia independent (in their view). Of course, they did not know the hidden political map of the USA. And they luckily crossed the…

How a real democracy and public affairs should look like
Constitution, congress, senate, old and senile Anglo-Saxon-looking politicians calling all day to lobbyists to get money for campaigns, movers-and-shakers, crooks, super-rich families and lodges. Social media, and mass media with their own agenda, would be politically incorrect stand-up shows. Endless feuds with power structures blocking each other to the detriment of citizens. Gerrymandering, voter suppression,…
