One new story, two that go further, and all three translations reread

A new story: Connotation-proof

Why I don't say « demon », or « angel », or « spirit », or « djinn », or « entity ». Each of those words forces its own picture on you up front — horns, wings on the back, a half-blue see-through ghost like in the movies, the genie from Aladdin — and the conversation is over before it started. That's where the phrase I use all over this site comes from: the people of the phenomenon mentioned in religions among other places.

On a dark gray background, the character stands with a neutral look, under a thought bubble containing only a prohibition sign, an empty crossed-out circle. At the bottom, the title « Connotation-proof »

Under the rug now goes all the way

The story used to stop at the observation. It keeps going now: what I answer when people tell me it's a delusion. To me a delusion is a black box, where you file away the things nobody bothers to look into. And if all this came from my unconscious, someone would have to explain why every voice has its own, its own way of speaking, its own expressions — right down to words I didn't even know, like at the Kuffar moment.

A man lifts a rug with a small character hidden underneath; the handwritten title reads « Everyone's opinion in 2026 »

The phenomenon doesn't need religions: what comes next

One point I hadn't written down yet. The profiles I run into on social media come from every background and every belief: French, American, Brazilian, Russian, Turkish people, but also Christians, atheists, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists. The people of the phenomenon clearly don't sort anyone by belief — so in 2026, we should be able to talk about it without going through a religion.

The character drops a mic. On the right, in capitals: « RELIGIONS EXIST TO TALK ABOUT THE PHENOMENON », then « BUT » in red and underlined, then « THE PHENOMENON DOESN’T NEED RELIGIONS TO EXIST »

The English, Portuguese and German versions reread from end to end

Every sentence of the home page, the metacognitive toolbox and the stories was checked against the French, one by one. Some passages had been updated in French without the translation following, and a few said something else entirely: the tool « Don't put the cart before the horse » advised the opposite of its own title in all three languages, a whole list was missing in German, and two dates were swapped there. All fixed, along with the typos, the quotation marks and the way the reader is addressed.

The header fits on one line on a phone

On a narrow screen, the version number and the update date used to run into each other. The date now shows in short form and the whole thing stays readable at a glance, with nothing changed on desktop.
