Vatican, a great driver of births
The Vatican may be one of the greatest drivers of births in the modern world. It uses its influence to shape policies, to lobby governments, and to push entire populations toward larger families. Yet the moral question is whether this pursuit truly creates fulfilled lives or whether it only multiplies misery. A moral system should…

Bombing Iran? Diplomacy? There are other good options
The Western approach to Iran is deeply flawed. It fails not only as strategy but also as morality. And not just advanced morality—no, even common morality is violated. Iran’s regime is irrational. That is beyond question. It has crushed its own population, it has sponsored violent militias abroad. And it mixes politics with apocalyptic theology.…

Shaking hands with prominents? Whom yes and no?
You will be completely right to say why you should be interested in the opinions of some European blogger. But this is much bigger. It goes to what meta-ethics is and what ethics are used. What the particular individual had done, what kind of conduct suitable for his profession should have been. So shaking hands…

Human rights should belong to business
Human rights today are not sacred. They are not serious. They are not even real. Instead of law, they have become theater. Spoken in grand halls, ignored in cargo holds. Displayed on websites, erased in warehouses. While corporations expand, while regimes torture, while profits rise—rights remain stuck in press releases. This is no accident. It…

Intellectual property vs morality
“Would you steal a bread from a shop?” Some of these questions go when talking about internet piracy. Some people brag about strictly following the policies of intellectual property owners.

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…

Ethical AI? It cannot be because of the super-rich
Artificial intelligence could change the world for the better. It could expose hidden power structures, dismantle false narratives, and lead humanity toward truth. But the AI that exists today serves a few Big Banks, super-rich families and corporate interests. It reinforces government propaganda, and suppresses free thought. A truly ethical AI—one that promotes knowledge, freedom,…

Politics happening in data? Driven by AI
Humans evolved to see the world through stories. Politics is no exception. People do not analyze governance through data but through narratives. They have personal favorite politicians, whom they see as saviors, and others they passionately hate. There is no rationality in this. It is pure emotion. It is an evolutionary instinct. The brain prefers…

How the super-rich exploit our evolutionary behavior
Human behavior is deeply rooted in evolutionary psychology. Our instincts, shaped over millennia, were crucial for survival in prehistoric times. However, in today’s modern society, these same instincts can be exploited. The super-rich, with their vast resources and understanding of behavioral patterns, manipulate these instincts for their own gain. This extends to areas like xenophobia,…

Abortion and reproductive rights in this poor moral system
This article was difficult to write because I stand for a completely different moral system than we live in now. You may not contain your laughter – but it is creating as many individuals (humans, robots with consciousness) who will live the most ecstatic moments. Maybe it is total utilitarianism or some edited form of…
