Despite being late to modernize compared to other European nations, Sweden developed a strong engineering and industrial focus, fostering a culture of innovation that paved the way for companies like Spotify.Pirate Bay and Sweden's Digital Pioneers: The discussion touches on how Sweden's advanced internet infrastructure and highly connected population led to projects like The Pirate Bay. Jack notes that Sweden's conformity to trends and its neophilic culture contributed to the rise of such platforms, where digital piracy was once a mainstream practice, reflecting a larger cultural shift in media consumption.The Conformity Paradox in Sweden: A key theme in the episode is Sweden's paradoxical approach to conformity, where at a national level, the country made nonconformist decisions, such as its unique COVID-19 strategy. Jack explains this as a deeper form of conformity to long-standing institutional trust, showing that Swedish society's adherence to institutional plans is rooted in a high level of trust in central authority.Decentralized Technology and Vaporware: Jack introduces the concept of Vaporware, a project aimed at building decentralized technologies to provide users with greater control over their data. He explains that Vaporware is a company built on Plunder, an alternative to Urbit, and emphasizes how these technologies aim to solve current issues related to internet privacy, data ownership, and freedom.Solid-State Interpreter for Future-Proof Computing: One of the most technical insights revolves around the solid-state interpreter, which Jack describes as a combination of a virtual machine and a database. It allows for the creation of a computing environment where code and data can be stored and updated indefinitely, ensuring that the programs and data remain functional and accessible long into the future, unlike current software systems.Reputation Systems and Social Trust: Jack challenges traditional reputation systems, advocating for a more nuanced, context-specific method of evaluating trust in online interactions. He suggests that symbols or markers should be used to indicate trustworthiness based on context, rather than relying on simple upvotes or scores, which can be gamed and lead to dystopian outcomes.Global Institutional Collapse and the Need for New Systems: Both Stewart and Jack reflect on the global decline of traditional institutions, with welfare states and centralized governance models failing to meet modern needs. They emphasize the importance of rethinking political and economic systems to adapt to the changing technological landscape, drawing parallels between Sweden's past successes and the broader need for innovative, decentralized solutions globally.

Max Pearson presents a collection of this week's Witness History episodes from the BBC World Service.It has been 50 years since Abba won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, so we're exploring Swedish history. Also in 1974, Sweden became the first country in the world to offer paid parental leave that was gender neutral. One father who took the leave tells us about this pioneering policy. We hear from one of the inventors of Bluetooth. The technology was named after Harald Bluetooth, a Viking king. Our expert guest is Eva Krutmeijer, Swedish science writer and co-author of the book ' Innovation, the Swedish Way'. Plus, the invention of the three-point safety belt for cars, that is estimated to have saved more than one million lives around the world, and the story behind Sweden's Cinnamon Bun Day. Finally, 1974 was just the beginning for the Swedish quartet, Abba, who shared their name with a herring company. By the end of the decade, they were one of most recognisable music acts of the 20th century. Contributors: Per Edlund - one of the first fathers in his town to take split paid parental leave Sven Mattison - one of the inventors of Bluetooth Eva Krutmeijer - Swedish science writer and co-author of the book 'Innovation, the Swedish Way' Gunnar Ornmark - stepson of Nils Bohlin who invented the three-point safety belt for cars Kaeth Gardestedt - who came up with the idea of Sweden's Cinnamon Bun Day Görel Hanser - manager of Abba (Photo: Abba in 1974.

Today Sweden is looked upon as a peaceful neutral country, but it hasn't always been that way. And today I want to talk about one of the historical events that I, as a kid was very fascinated about, and that is the Stockholm bloodbath, or as it's also called the Stockholm massacre.It started with the Danish king Christian II who was to become the king of Sweden, but Sweden wasn't that easy to convince that this was a good thing. We had supporters of Christian II as the king led by archbishop Gustavo Trolle, and we had people against Christian II becoming the Swedish king, and those were led by Sten Sture the younger.Christian with one condition, that he had to give a full amnesty for past actions and a guarantee that Sweden should be ruled according to Swedish laws and customs. Christian agreed to this and he was confirmed as the king of Sweden. But as the story will tell this was not the case.Support the showThank You for listening to A Swedish Fika.

Today, I want to tell you the story of the king who became a pirate. This is a true story, but some of the facts can be questioned as it all took place in the late 14th century and the documentation was not that precise, but I will try to tell this story to the best of my abilities. The king I am talking about was Erik the king of the Kalmar Union, which consisted of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden in the late 14th century. But we need to start this story much earlier.  We actually need to start with his grandaunt Margaret I who was the ruler of Denmark and Norway. Support the showThank You for listening to A Swedish Fika.

Salomon August Andrée had a dream. In 1897 he and his companions Nils Strindberg and Knut Fraenkel would by the first to fly a hot air balloon over the North Pole! (Or die trying!) Their story inspired their fellow Swedes, HP Lovecrafts 'At The Mountains of Madness,' and countless other adventurers-at-heart to follow on their stead. Hopefully they would have a better plan.https://imgur.com/a/mx18F2sTalking Points: Project paperclip, the age of heroic exploration, the explorers club, flouride apples, feeling up gas-holes, balloon safety tips, giga-looners, mylarbaloonfan 1800, DragonBallZ Architecture, inside people, eat it or yeet it, white wastelands, ice, snow, cold, cold icy snow and several of the best jokes of 1897.Check out the website for links to our shows on iTunes, GooglePlay and Spotify► http://www.lmtya.com► https://spoti.fi/2Q55yfLPeep us on Twitter► @LetMeTellYouPDOfficial Discord► https://discord.gg/SqyXJ9R/////// SHILL CORNER ///////► https://www.patreon.com/LMTYALMTYA shirts!► https://represent.com/lmtya/////// SHILL CORNER ///////

In 1992 a crew drilled into the vault of the Gota Bank in Stockholm. Inside they broke into over 600 safety deposit boxes and set off pretty much every alarm the bank had but somehow they still got away with $6.7 million. So many great takeaways from this story. It's a story we've been dying to tell but couldn't seem to find and English articles about it. And that's when our amazing listener Pontus stood up and volunteered to research this bad boy for us. Heist Nation delivers again. HEEEIIISST!

Get ready for sexy mouthfeel, pictures of trees, and a whole lot of moom energy! This week, Emily covers motor-racing champ and war hero, Roberta Cowell who was the first known British woman to undergo sexual reassignment surgery. She also challenged the existing perceptions of trans women simply by being a plane flying, car racing, Nazi tricking badass. Then, Kelley tells the story of author Selma Lagerlöf who made a geography book an international sensation and was the first woman and lesbian to win the Nobel Prize in literature! How did she make a geography book a hit? The key is shrunken boys and geese.

Episode 4 - During the Viking era and before that the Swedish custom was to bury the top warriors in boat graves. What started that tradition and how come the Vikings were so brutal in their attacks and raiding throughout Europe. What are the findings from the Vendel period that was before the Viking age. World of Swedish History meets historian John Ljungkvist at Uppsala university

Episode 2 - We hear historian Paul Levine talk about the Swedish Ad Hoc diplomat Raoul Wallenberg who helped and saved Jews during the Holocaust during World War II. How many did he save? Whe did he have business contacts with the Nazis at the same time as he was saving Jews? Why did Sweden have a diplomatic effort to save people during the War? World of Swedish History is a podcast about Swedish history in English. In the podcast I interview historians about different historical eras of the Swedish history. The goal is to spread knowledgde about Sweden and the rich history of this country.

This is the first episdode in the podcast World of Swedish History, where historians speak about Swedish history in English. Axel von Fersen was born in 1755 and as a young man he became the lover of the French queen Marie Antoinette and a close ally to George Washington. in 1810 he was lynched in the streets of Stockholm after he had been accused of the death of a danish prince who was supposed to be the crown prince of Sweden. Just recently a new eye witness report surfaced about the killing of von Fersen. Stockholm historian Mats Hayen tells the story.

In 1940, Germany was sending vital telegrams through neutral Sweden using a sophisticated cipher, and it fell to mathematician Arne Beurling to make sense of the secret messages. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the outcome, which has been called "one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of cryptography." We'll also learn about mudlarking and puzzle over a chicken-killing Dane. Intro: In 1836, three boys discovered 17 tiny coffins entombed near Edinburgh. On his 1965 album A Love Supreme, John Coltrane "plays" a poem on the saxophone.

It's just Blind Mike and Caleb this week, and they decide to challenge themselves to make an episode with the MPAA rules for a PG-13 movie rating. A lot of fun is had, and then they start using trailer voice over voices at each other and things get ridiculous. Oh and some Swedish History is briefly discussed.

So we’ve been talking about Emanuel Swedenborg and his accounts of the material and spiritual worlds for a full year now, but there may be some people wondering how his claims to have visited the afterlife could possibly be true. When this 18th-century Swedish Renaissance man wrote and published volumes of firsthand accounts of heaven and hell, evil spirits, and heavenly angels, did he really see all of those things? Was it all in his head? In this special anniversary episode, host Curtis Childs from the Swedenborg Foundation utilizes the help of an esteemed psychologist and theological scholars to explore Swedenborg and the historical and anecdotal evidence of his sanity and character. This is an audio-only version of video-based show, and the podcast may contain references to visuals from the original episode.
