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.…

How can science make you antisocial?
Science does not make you antisocial because of politics. Nor is it because of adulation among scholars, corrupt academia, or the power games described in my article on academic clientelism and academic-political incest. That is a different disease. The real cause is far more profound—and far more disturbing. It lies in what science actually reveals.…

The past is not black and white – it is now
They show you the past in black and white. Blurry. Shaky. Distant. The footage is grainy, the voices muffled, and the movements too fast or too slow. The effect is immediate: this is something far away. Not part of your life. Just a story. But that is false. The past did not look like this.…

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…

The Bible vs freedom of speech: Double standard
Free speech is not what they claim. It is not neutral, it is not honest. It does not defend truth—it defends power. Today, one tweet can destroy your life. A satirical meme? Hate speech. A scientific graph? Misinformation. A religious critique? Censorship. What about the Bible? And yet, the Bible—violent, tribal, soaked in blood—gets protected.…

Why we admire socioeconomic success: Path through life
Human admiration is not random. It is programmed. From an early age, we stare in awe at doctors, entrepreneurs, athletes, and artists. Later, we begin chasing their status ourselves. But why? Why do we worship success in the first place? The answer is not modern. It is ancient. Evolutionary psychology explains it better than any…

No allegories. Religion is meant literally
Religions are not poems. They are not parables, they are declarations. They do not ask to be interpreted—they demand to be obeyed. That is what people forget. Or worse, what they intentionally overlook. Because religion is meant literally. Today, many religious leaders tell us not to worry. They claim it is all symbolic. That there…

The bloody and brutal history of church building
This evolutionary adaptation—or by-product—led us to build churches. But it also brought blood. I have found this just because a random church visit that made me really sick. I should have never read evolutionary psychology and biology. Why? Because they reveal ugly truth about Homo sapiens nature. All of the evolutionary strategies to boost people’s…

Scholars’ books vs my books: Crazy academia
When you release a non-fiction book, you are supposed to reveal as little information about yourself as you can. No photos, maybe a short bio, some dedication, but don’t be too “egomaniacal”. What about scholars’ books? What I do and can live with My readers know that I don’t hesitate to put my photos, videos…

Swear on an evolutionary biology textbook instead of the Bible
One of the most foolish things American presidents do is to swear on the Bible. The Bible’s New Testament is full of contradicting, lying, illogical, cognitively biased statements with no evidence provided, it denies the truth, misleads the reader, perverts reality, alienates people against each other, is full of formal fallacies, is racist, homophobic, superstitious,…
