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,…

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…
