Philosophy, the attempt to bring some order into the load of experiences which live can bring, is something which very many people, also quite usual ones, are not so rarely busy about – it DOES help in live if one sees a bit more clearly and does not need to be surprised so often. And there are even people who make a profession of it, even an academic one. And some of them have recently aroused my definite displeasure.

Some readers of HBL will have noticed that there was recently some discussion about conspiracy theories between Torsten Fagerholm, Hannes Nykänen, and let’s see who else will still get involved. Even I was at one point writing a (private) email to Torsten Fagerholm. But while thinking about these matters, more about the whole thing has come to my mind, e.g. QAnon (which can be easily googled).
