The true criminals wear suits and ties
I tried to explain how stupid nature is to divide the good and bad guys in terms of Britannica’s childish views. People possess a moral system adapted to the African savannah, not for a mega complex world full of capital flows and intertwined super complex moral decisions of who will be born (out of luck,…

Mass surveillance and AI: no longer a needle in a haystack
The NSA’s mass surveillance programs that extend all over the globe have been a target of criticism. Even former contractors, employees, and, of course, other critics pointed out that data collection is so huge. It is big so finding some useful information is like finding a needle in a haystack. However, mass surveillance in combination…

Cancer cure? Rather an atomic bomb!
Since I am pro-democracy, I am completely aware that the time’s need (in the 1940s) was really more useful to create an atomic bomb to deter totalitarian enemies than to find a cure for cancer. But what about allocating the costly resources and the best brains now to cure cancer? No! Cancer cure? Rather an…

Censorship, auto-censorship, and post-Snowden era
I live in a country that experienced all of this. Hardcore censorship, auto-censorship, and – finally – the post-Snowden internet era. There is an ongoing, finitely not answered question of whether there are more naive people who grew up in totalitarianism or people who grew up in a functional democracy. We can be aware of…

While there must be a culprit (partly) and, yes, it is the US, the country should be treated in the harshest manner in terms…

Is this type of capitalism only possible? It must be
Establishment, media, scholars, actors, politicians, and influential people will unison tell you – that this type of capitalism is the only possible. Please make no mistake – I am not saying to replace this with communism, socialism, or even mixed economy. What I try to insinuate is that this type of capitalism we live in…

How are the US and Russia similar?
The heading cannot be more counterintuitive. No freedom of speech, arbitrary arrests, unbelievable corruption, authoritarian regime. But still – how are the US and Russia similar? In my article, you will find similarities, yet please note this: They may not be proportionally the same, even though they can be found on a huge level in…

The biggest problem in politics is the stupidity of people
Every single US voter is fully aware that there are tens of patron-client networks ridden through American politics that grossly disrupt the process detrimental to every citizen. So he or she daily reads media based on information from the political background devoid of our prehistoric like of story-telling. Just statistics and mathematics. No campaign, just…

Skeptic turned believer: Exposing the super-rich families
Do you think I am a person who can be tricked into believing something just by reading it or seeing it? Definitely wrong! I am a person who doesn’t make the final judgment and then makes arguments accordingly that they fit the judgment. If I have any assets at all, this is non-adherence to cognitive…
