Our moral system is extremely bad. Here are the facts
My atypical stance on human morality is given by books that are the best and the worst I have ever read. What kind of books? Evolutionary psychology and evolutionary biology. While the first one may be considered as a pseudoscience even though it bears a rational core and has thousands of rational claims that cannot…

Richard Dawkins doesn’t like the British people. And they are one of the least worst
Imagine a completely different country than the Czech Republic is, better in all of aspects – big salaries, great flawless people that you like all of them, excellent justice system, orderliness, communist-like social net, capitalistic profits, very polite politics. A completely different world. I used to hold British people in high regard unless I realized…

Scientists should explore how to stop performance IQ decline
The performance part has a steady decline as you age. If you want to learn something and you postpone it, hurry up, it may be late. “It begins in the mid-20s and continues steadily until it reaches more than 30 points in the late 80s (a peak of 101 at 20–24 versus 70 in old…

Thank God for the right-wing voters in the Czech Republic! We would be the worst developing country ever without them
It is absolutely saddening that you must live in countries in this modern world. No global government, common language spoken, just countries with their own governments, some mutually friendly, some alienated, with their own armies. I utterly despise the two-dimensional spectrum the journalists, politicians, and their puppet masters are feeding us. I clarified what a…

Was it better in prehistory? Extermination camps, gulags, systematic oppression, global wars
While there is no doubt life is better now than in prehistory (generally), modern-day history offers a lot of cruel modern-day novelties non-existential in prehistory. One journalist has rebutted that the Middle Ages may not have been so bad by saying: “What about Gulags?” Homo sapiens are species enormously prone to wars. And while a…

Women possess slightly lower average intelligence, but there is also cultural discrimination
There is no doubt that women are being discriminated against on a cultural level all around the world. This issue should be and is being solved by the world’s governments or shadow eminences. Now let’s leave the political correctness. The problem is deep-seated. We are talking about evolution, the DNA. And since the modern IQ…

Your family should help, not the government. Biggest right-wing hypocrisy
The right-wingers and conservatives often say you are not morally allowed to touch the government money, but instead, your family should help. In a case of need, the individuals (as the whole society) should help each other, in my humble opinion. And your family? It was brutal, unregulated 19th-century capitalism and its 20th-century aftermath that…

Why Marx’s Capital couldn’t be published or be influential nowadays
Karl Marx’s “Capital” is a work in the field of political economy and has been widely studied and influential since its publication. And its consequences besides academia and intellectual circles? Millions of extrajudicial killings, gulags, famine, and repressed freedom of speech, but also alleviating the negative attributes of capitalism: full employment, solid salaries, free healthcare,…

No wars as a possibility by IQ enhancement: Scientific advancement vs. social progress
Computational science or the Theory of relativity are difficult to grasp. But is far more difficult to stop poisoning billions of brown rats without any anesthesia or end shaming development for cancer cure (and it wouldn’t actually cost much). Or not waging wars. It was not the case that I wouldn’t have liked the kindergarten.…
