About this ebook
Sometimes even ideas that are widely accepted can be worth thinking a step further: neither Aristotle, Newton or Einstein could have known anything about the Internet or about cloning. This said, great minds often err more intelligently than lesser mortals get it right.

Table of Contents
Stupid Questions:
The question of what percentage of our brain we use has turned out to be an utterly meaningless one – and all answers to a stupid question are stupid.
Games and Battles:
There are no better players, just fewer advantages.
The Credibility of Science:
I have always been astonished by humanity’s discovery of the direct connection between two events so very disparate as copulation and childbirth,
Genius:
A genius is unique and unrepeatable; in a word, a genius is a miracle.
Quiet Emotions:
It can matter a great deal who one sits in silence with.
Science and Atheism:
A car or a computer works in the same way for a believer or an atheist.
Reason and Conscience:
Conscience, just like cold calculating reason, can in many cases lead to the wrong result.
Inheriting Intelligence:
From time to time the debate is revived about the percentage of inherited and environmental determined intelligence yet the sum of the two values may not be anything like 100.
About the Author
Stupid Questions
From time to time I read ominous figures on how many brain cells are destroyed by a single shot of liquor. Sometimes they make do with a mere ten thousand, but fifty thousand seems most common. By innate bad habit, I inadvertently start doing the sums. Say I drink a bottle (half liter) of schnapps a day – that’s half a million brain cells a day. Wow – or rather, hic! Let a year be four hundred days, say – to avoid embarrassment on bigger national holidays, I’ll let their allocation be two bottles. That’s two hundred million brain cells
