On American exceptionalism and how people are attracted to it
No country can claim that it is exceptional, as the self-fulfilling prophecy never materializes. American exceptionalism isn’t different at all. This article aims at the evolutionary roots behind the pillars the U.S. builds its reputation on. It also examines the historic desire to immigrate to the US. There may be, of course, rational reasons, why…

Hillary Clinton, war with Russia and puppet state
Had Hillary Clinton won the election, Russia would have never been the same. There would have been, with great likelihood, a war with Russia and then transformed it into a puppet state. Or another solution to disrupt the regime. Germany as a puppet state My regular readers know it so if you don’t, please don’t…

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…

Want to be a politician? Prestigious circles are almost a necessity
The dream looks simple. A motivated citizen. A rising political star. A national leader chosen by the people. Many still believe in it. Some even teach it to children. Work hard. Play by the rules. Get involved in your party. Serve the public. One day, if you keep at it, you will reach the top.…

The new oligarchy: Beijing, Mumbai, and the Silent empire
For over a century, the Western elite controlled the script. Wall Street set the pace (aka the super-rich families and banks), Silicon Valley drove innovation, and Washington exported governance models dressed up as democracy. However, that world is gone. Today, a new oligarchy rises—not from Paris, Berlin, or New York, but from Beijing, Mumbai, and…

Is it really worth it for people to go into politics now?
All the spotlight. But politics has inevitable bitter ends. Nearly every single politician will wear off. Unpopular decisions, bad economy, events caused by powers untouched by the very politicians. My readers know that political trio consists of the face (the politician), mover-and-shaker (the brain) and crook (stealing funds). You cannot, with all of the things…

Is Wikipedia evil and does it serve the super-rich?
My readers know I am not a fan. My view of Wikipedia has worsened as a whole. I wrote about how animalistic it is, how it promotes our prehistoric instincts instead of data, how it contributed to ruining my life with their lousy article on schizophrenia (which is, unbelievably, a featured article), and how secret…

The super-rich’s biggest asset: Confusing us with morality
People love to judge (morality). They follow courtroom drama, they react to shocking headlines. They chase guilt and demand punishment. A drunk driver hits a child — outrage follows. A shoplifter takes groceries — condemnation comes fast. A man stabs his neighbor — the story goes viral. Yet while these incidents flood our emotions, the…

Kanye West, mental illness and disobeying religious clintelism
Kanye West has been critically acclaimed for revolutionizing hip-hop through genre-bending albums like The College Dropout and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, praised for his bold production, emotional vulnerability, and cultural impact on fashion, music, and celebrity. I have read the tabloids, so I am aware of his excesses—praising Hitler, blatant antisemitism, wearing a black…

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?…
