I believe Joshua was talking about the claim that Per Shapiro was a contributing writer for Nya Dagbladet.
There’s no direct evidence in the Expo article as far as I could tell for the fraternal link, but there’s definitely external evidence. For example, here’s a tweet from Max himself, linking to Per’s podcast and calling him ‘my brother Per’ (subject to accuracy of Google Translate).
Brother is used as a term of affection in a fair few languages (including Swedish), so I wouldn’t just trust a tweet. The Swedish wikipedia article on Per, however, confirms more definitively that they are brothers: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_Shapiro
The claim from Expo is easily verified
Sorry is there anything in that link that suggests Per Shapiro and Tegmark are brothers?

Thanks, this is pretty convincing to me.
