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.

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.

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…

Sigmund Freud: Destruction of psychiatry
Sigmund Freud shaped psychiatry more than any other figure. His influence was enormous, yet it crippled the field for decades. Psychiatry, which should have been rooted in science, instead became a speculative mess. Freud’s ideas dominated despite their lack of evidence. His followers built a dogma around him. Critics were ignored, and alternative approaches struggled…

Mental illness and genius
For a start, I do not mean myself, as I am just an average author and blogger. I have in mind people who have made enormous contributions to science and the arts. This interconnected problem has troubled the world for a long time. So, how are mental illness and genius connected? Where did the notion…

Technologically dominant America. Why?
Helmut Schmid’s famous quote goes: “The biggest problem in politics is the stupidity of people.” I have heard comments like this: “Europe is busy with immigrants, genders and ecology meanwhile the US are dominant force in technology.” The quote by Helmut Schmidt, of course, applies even in this case. For every complicated question, there is…

There is no life after death: the ultimate guide
They say disprove there is life after death. Well, things are supposed to be proven, not disproven. The life after death is ingrained in nearly every culture. However, as scientific progress went further, the notion suddenly became increasingly obsolete. Not only do current science and analytic philosophy give you precious advice, but they also create…
