2026-07-08 13:23 The Swedish society is secularised.  Religion is not such a large part of most people’s lives anymore.  The presence of religious symbols are usually not a problem.  It is only certain individuals being troubled by certain symbols.
The central control myth
2026-06-30 16:38 Conspiracy talkers have a tendency to believe things to be centrally controlled.  People doing the same thing are supposed to be part of the same organisation.  This does not at all have to be the case.

Aliens can’t be hidden

Why and when scientists change their minds
2026-04-25 21:37 Individuals outside the scientific mainstream often complain about people within it refusing to listen to them. As if listening was the same as accepting an idea. Real scientists make high demands for accepting the ideas of others.
When no conspiracy is needed
2026-04-17 19:08 Something I don’t think requires a conspiracy is the Estonia disaster.  On the 28th of September 1994 the ferry Estonia sank in the Baltic Sea.  At least 852 people died in connection with this.
