Thormay2 Homepage

A Second Portal into The Passionate Skeptic website

The Passionate Skeptic site at http://thormay.net is in basic html, and has been building for around 20 years. It has thousands of links and is really too big to modernize properly. Nevertheless it contains lots of good reading. This thormay2 WordPress page is an alternative portal into that material. I will gradually expand direct links into more interesting content of the original site.

A few years ago I also began to transfer sections of thormay.net to different blogs page by page. It was taking forever. There are probably better tools available now. Anyway, links to those blogs are pasted below (they are mostly not up to date).

About 147 of the articles, technical papers, stories etc originally on thormay.net have been duplicated (as of early 2019) in an Academia.edu repository where they attract much wider circulation. See https://independent.academia.edu/ThorMay
