Praying to God is useless. No one will send rain from the sky…

Droughts and floods will still periodically occur on our land.

But what is not useless, and what is in our hands, is being prepared for emergencies. Therefore, instead of praying, we should demand from the authorities the allocation of funds for maintaining security systems, such as space …

Ritual to Invoke Rain

For 10 years, we have studied physics, chemistry, and astronomy in school. Then, for 5 years, we study advanced mathematics and strength of materials at the university. We are informed about the water cycle in nature, how clouds form, and how precipitation falls, but… when a drought comes, we forget about our education and start praying to gods, offering sacrifices …

U.S. Hegemony and Democracy

Do not confuse American foreign policy and democracy.

U.S. intervention in the internal affairs of other countries is outrageous.

But this does not negate the greatness of democracy and does not justify dictatorship.

Do not …

The Non-Proliferation Treaty.

When Kazakhstan adopted a law on criminal liability for the dissemination of false information, I was sympathetic to this news.

I understand perfectly well that a false rumor about the bankruptcy of a bank can cause an outflow of deposits from it and lead to its real bankruptcy.

Or, let’s say, a rumor about an impending earthquake in Almaty can …

Flexibility of Body and Character

I’ve noticed an interesting pattern: the flexibility of a person’s body is directly related to the flexibility of their character.

For example, I have a friend who seems like he swallowed a stick. He has a slim and straight body, but it’s difficult for him to bend, lean, or twist: his torso seems to be frozen. His character is the …

Whatever a person does in his life, all his actions, feelings, emotions are based on these two instincts that help him survive and continue his kind, that is, serve his personal interests, his “ego”. A person’s selfishness is the …
