Treat the Bible just like Mein Kampf is treated
No one can publish Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler in unedited form, without politically favorable commentary and without getting punished in most of the European countries if released unedited. Since European politicians treat their citizens as stupid sheep who cannot form their own opinions without sleazy commentary, religious books should be treated in such a…

Why I had disbelief in IQ?
Are you kidding me? You want to tell me there is a number which rules everything. Every single ability is derived from particular IQ. For a kid questioning everything not a good idea. So why did I have disbelief in IQ? But the number somehow mattered. I have observed pupils who had very good school…

Czech culture cannot make it big in science
I remember days when top Czech scientists were denying the Global warming on one Czech scientific website. And here we go. Why the Czech website? Because Czech scientists sometimes struggle with English. You don’t need Czech language to understand scientific news. Czech culture just cannot make it large in scientific fields. Bad governance: Bad top…

Limited knowledge and being always wrong on something
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability or knowledge overestimate their competence, while those with high ability tend to underestimate theirs, often because they are more aware of the complexity of the subject. But this paragraph is merely a part of the wider topic. My article aims to show our…

A truly moral man. I have never seen such an individual
People distinguish between good (moral) and bad people. And since evolutionary biology, game theory and evolutionary psychology present human morality as something animalistic, my previous divide of good and bad people is gone. And even if you imagine our current Western morality (even though individuals have different systems) would be correct, there is still no…

Educated person? What does it mean?
My grandfather proclaimed that Miss of the Czech Republic must be smart. In his view, it was command of foreign languages (of course, learning a foreign language means you never master it just like your native tongue), some superficial general knowledge, and some ability to respond to more difficult questions. Is that an educated person?…

Still believe in God? 250 arguments you shouldn’t
I have expanded my first edition of the book Arguments for Atheism to 250 Arguments for Atheism, which is very rich in arguments. It is designed for everyone—from the casual reader to the dedicated philosophy enthusiast. Do you believe in a personal God or a deistic God (an impersonal God)? This free book completely destroys…

LGBTQ+ rights and secular movements
LGBTQ+ rights and secular movements have long been connected. Science supports LGBTQ+ identities as natural variations of human behavior. History shows that religious institutions have been responsible for much of the persecution against LGBTQ+ people. Secular movements have played a crucial role in ending this oppression. They have replaced religious dogma with reason, law, and…

Why you will never see heaven? Ultimate guide
I always hear songs about going to heaven and Americans strictly adhere to this nonsense. This article provides you with tons of information that is somewhat crucial in the dichotomy of why you will never see heaven. For further reading, read the book “Arguments for atheism” (Jan Bryxí, 2023). Primitive bronze age superstition The idea…

Scholars and politicians as the same. Disgusting academia
They are so innocent and do everything to improve humankind’s well-being. Unlike dirty, corrupt, lying, and self-centered, egomaniacal, narcissistic politicians, they are devoid of these characteristics. I want to prove it wrong. Scholars and politicians are on the same level. Academia is not only a world just like showmen have (with their own rules), but…
