The PJ Råsmark blog. This blog is about science, pseudoscience, manipulation, magic, and outright lies. Wednesday, 23 April 2014. The Heretics, by Will Storr. The Heretics – adventures with the enemies of science. For a moment consider the opinions that you have about global warming, the Middle East, GMOs, the distribution of wealth, and all the other opinions that you have. What opinions that you have are wrong? So can you be a Christian if you also want to be scientific about things? Just so that no on...

The PJ Råsmark blog: What is critical thinking?
http://rasmark.blogspot.com/2014/05/what-is-critical-thinking.html
The PJ Råsmark blog. This blog is about science, pseudoscience, manipulation, magic, and outright lies. Friday, 2 May 2014. What is critical thinking? This is of course idiotic and anyone who used critical thinking would realise that this is the case. My guess is that too many fall in the trap of using a popular word without even trying to think about what critical thinking really is. Important parts of critical thinking – Heuristics.

The PJ Råsmark blog. This blog is about science, pseudoscience, manipulation, magic, and outright lies. Saturday, 16 November 2013. A kind of longer status update. I have been in Prague a couple of days (1 week), and it has been kind of hectic. So hectic that this is my first opportunity to write about it. Ray picked me up close to Masarykovo nádraží and kindly drove me to the airport at 11.40 and after a delay (not usual for a SAS flight) at 14.20 I took of from Prague heading back to Uppsala. This will...

The PJ Råsmark blog: Is the source important?
http://rasmark.blogspot.com/2014/04/is-source-important.html
The PJ Råsmark blog. This blog is about science, pseudoscience, manipulation, magic, and outright lies. Friday, 18 April 2014. Is the source important? I saw a friend posting a link to an article. Over the centuries people have had many different ideas about the meaning of those words. Some hate them and some love them, but usually they just disagree about what the meaning is. What is less subjective is where the motto is from and what it was originally about. But does that really matter? In Canada, whic...

http://rasmark.blogspot.com/2015/01/civilisationens-krig.html
The PJ Råsmark blog. This blog is about science, pseudoscience, manipulation, magic, and outright lies. Friday, 9 January 2015. Ja, jag vet att både tryckfriheten och yttrandefriheten har sina begränsningar och behöver ha dem.

En sak till, det var inte...

The PJ Råsmark blog. This blog is about science, pseudoscience, manipulation, magic, and outright lies. Tuesday, 25 March 2014. Had a very interesting lecture today, or rather this evening, touching among other things on the fight for Aleppo. The violence is of course unforgivable but just to make everything clear I am discussing the conquest of Aleppo by the Hittites in the 16th century B.C. Can we hope for a better knowledge of our history in the future? Thursday, 20 March 2014. Monday, 17 March 2014.
