On mythological figures
2024-12-21 14:21 I just want to remind about me being a non-believer.  This does not mean I am hostile to religion.  If God exist or not each may decide for him- or herself.  In contrast I deny the existence of divine intervention.
What global warming means
2024-05-22 13:19 Climate change means a shifting in statistical averages.  In the case of global warming this means a shift to the warmer.  Mostly this affects areas situated closer to the poles.
The limits of human memory

What I think about the Bible
2024-02-14 13:02 I don’t think the Bible was ever intended to be taken literally.  The idea was conceived after the breakthrough of the printing press in a doomed attempt to coordinate readings.
The difference between biology and reactionism
2024-01-30 12:19 Biological explanations for human behaviour can be mistaken for reactionism.  Oftentimes this is based on misconceptions of what modern brain science tells.  Maybe the worst misconception is accusation of determinism.
The moralising mind-trap
2024-01-23 12:33 This error is about constantly mixing up is and ought.  If someone says it is in a certain way the person is supposed to mean people ought to do something too.  Someone disliking the imagined ought, denies that it is so.
