There is one scientist in Turkey whose name is Jelal Şenber. He is famous for his research in geology. However, he is infamous in Turkey for his radical intellectual views towards Turkish culture and intellectual heritage. Which one time Jelal Şenger has said on live television that Turkey is a masked Afghanistan type of, a masked Afghanistan. It created a huge backlash against Jelal Şenger. However, despite his aggressive speech, for me he seems as a patriot of Turkish nation because he is brave enough to point at questionable and dangerous issues of contemporary and even past Turkish culture. Another example of his aggressive attitude towards intolerance of general public is his speech where he articulated that Turkish people are not completely humans. According to Jelal Şenger, to be considered as human, a person should have an IQ of 90. And when a general IQ of a country is 90, it implies that many people do not have IQ level of 90. So Jelal Şenger believes that many people in Turkey are, excuse me for my language, clinically stupid. That being said, he is a well-known writer and a polymist in Turkey and brought him, even in Russia, he is known as one of the most significant geologists of contemporary science.
