This reflection is a loose continuation and a kind of addition to the older text "I paradoxically see hope in stupidity". In addition to stupidity, incompetence and burying one's head in the sand, the current state is caused by something else, and I think that something is the incredible moral and spiritual emptiness of people. Belief in something higher has been replaced by the hunt...

I wrote this text in January 2023 and now I am gradually adding more information - as time goes on. Again, from conspiracy to reality in a few months... Please be careful - it will also happen to your children! I will completely forget the presidential election games, who will drag us into war and who will do what...

Short answer: I don't want to legitimize ANY evil and play that some evil is lesser and I should choose that - NO! For the first time since the revolution, I can't go to vote with a clear conscience and I'm simply not going to play this doll game anymore... And now the longer one reflection: What do you…

Yes, unfortunately I often eat unhealthy food... (the photo is from the summer in Austria, not after fasting...) When I wrote the first post on Facebook about my decision to start a five-day fast (only water, tea and coffee), I had no idea what kind of interest it would eventually spark. So I'll try again...

Great interview with Minister Rakušanem, what IS and what is NOT disinformation. Using an example here, he shows what disinformation IS and what he would therefore prosecute. It's a shame that TWO of his TWO examples are completely obvious and demonstrable lies - that is, as he himself likes to say - misinformation. First…

I thought (quite naively) that everyone who lives in this country remembers how Babiš's government behaved and what craziness, restrictions on freedoms and trades it showed during covid. That's why many saw hope (very false) in the government of Petr Fiala and they jumped at them completely uncovered. Come on... Today...

Milgram's experiment - about listening and blind trust in authorities, when one's own responsibility is easily hidden behind "I was ordered to do it"... "I had to"... or "I blindly believe". Stanford prison experiment - when everyone is happy to take on the role of a guard and is capable of torturing and restricting other people if they get the chance...

Being a dad myself, I have to share this story that happened in America a few days ago and it really touched me. The helplessness must be unimaginable… Alex was born in Washington state with a congenital, relatively trivial heart defect that is routinely operated on today with 95% success rate,…

Before I started reading your latest book War with the Trees, you wished me to have fun with it. I'll admit, though, that it gave me chills, and with each subsequent page, I was more and more worried about the fate of the main characters. What are you…

This is a video review of my book The War with Trees - for me, it's amazing how you can talk about something for fifteen minutes and not actually say anything at all, and most importantly, so fatally misunderstand the book... It's mainly an excursion into thinking that I really don't understand at all, but which are…

Allow me a little sci-fi writer's reflection today. Imagine that you are a really rich and powerful person. I'm not talking about the people who are tossed around as "billionaires" in Forbes for the masses to talk about and dream about - I mean, when you're really rich and powerful - like the groups that…

On 11/30/2022, I posted a post on Facebook that was deleted on 12/2/2022 and my account was blocked for 24 hours. (In short - bodybuilder Doug Brignole publicly wrote that he believes in a covid vaccine and if he dies, people should take it as such a test … well, this October this athlete actually…
