Destroyed by extraterrestrials: the reasons for it
If we set aside conspiracy theories suggesting that extraterrestrials are already here, controlling everything, we should ask ourselves: what would truly different beings do with us? I must agree with the late Stephen Hawking – our immaturity would likely lead to our destruction by extraterrestrials. Why their alleged presence are just mere conspiracy theories We…

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,…

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…

Helping will kill you. WW2 recollections and how to be better
Imagine German women, men malnourished, extremely thirsty, wounded, crawling on the soil. What would you do now? Call emergency services immediately and provide immediate CPR if needed. Giving them food, and water. Not at the end of WW2 in the former Czechoslovakia territory. Helping will kill you. Well, it is 2024. I hate nationalism, it…

While this comes natural for Homo sapiens, this article shows how much suffering this has brought. Patriotism is obsolete in every aspect. My article explains when there is no sensible of genetically improving…

We torture and kill animals en masse
It wasn’t the first time. The picturesque town of Jičín offers not only natural or man-made beauties but also harsh realities. Me and my friends were walking down the street where a slaughterhouse is. The pigs screaming before death were unbearable for someone who extends his empathy to animals. Of course, we (at least in…

Religions and human rights? Like dogs and cats
Religions are nothing but man-made, superstitious myths with no internal logic or evidence. The vast majority of the world’s major religions were created in an era when we knew little about the nature of the world: there were no peer-reviewed articles, no professional knowledge-makers, and the average IQ of the general population was low, with…

“I wish all Russians to die!” People are evil
When the media are showing horrible crimes of child rapists or murderers, people cannot compete in who is more evil. They want to inflict the worst possible pain on the culprit. But when it comes to my favorite dichotomy “us/them”, people unleash their animalistic instincts whether it is the Israeli-Hamas conflict (the humanitarian catastrophe respectively)…

Put the elites away. Let the mob rule!
The current discontent with politics, notably in the US and UK, and their elites brings back the horrible possibility of mob rule, also called ochlocracy. Despite those mentioned countries being democracies, they are not direct democracies. And while the concept of direct democracies may not work even in such a culture as Swiss, the US,…
