This White Boy Summer was blessed by a temporary return to the tradition of great movies with the release of Top Gun: Maverick. In an otherwise culturally drab era, Maverick is well named, as it is itself a maverick that bucks current trends.

“A splendid little war” was how Secretary of State John Hay described the Spanish-American War of 1898. Since Hay had served in Abraham Lincoln’s administration, he had had a lot of experience with more jaundiced wars like the one in the 1860s. The Spanish-American War was little, and its splendor depended upon where you were when it occurred. In DC’s clubrooms and in Congress, it was quite alluring, and was to most of the country.

Dokonce i mainstreamová média dnes začínají mluvit o tom, že inteligence, tak jak ji zachycují IQ testy, ve větší části světa upadá. Sám tuto vlastnost chápu jako částečně geneticky podmíněnou. Geny vaší inteligenci stanovují jakýsi strop: můžeme tak rozlišovat IQ potenciální a skutečné. Biologicky je podmíněno IQ potenciální, řekněme, že dosahuje výše 120. Při správné péči a výchově, tj. kvalitní stravě v dětství, dostatečnému cvičení a adekvátním množství mentálně podnětných aktivit dosáhne vaše IQ někdy kolem pětadvacátého roku – kdy je vývoj mozku dovršen – inteligence 120.
