This site has served a variety of purposes over the years — a chance to teach myself new facets of coding, a way to push myself to codify ideas, a hook to attract interesting people, a repository to link in discussions — as a result, it’s a bit of an amalgamation. I have formal writing, casual writing, a secret ARG-esque thing I made when I was 15, all within one site. This issue is exacerbated by how quickly my belief system updates. In my gap year, one of my main directives has been touching the world, and directing those experiences towards progressing my ontology. As a result, while some of my works from June 2025 now slot almost axiomatically into my current thinking, others are completely deprecated.

Still, I don’t want to remove the outdated content. Even if I could now provide rebuttals (and in some cases, do), I think seeing the progression of my thinking over the past year is much more informative than getting a new snapshot every few months. Often, the ideas people need to hear are not the correct ones, but rather, the ones that push their intellectual comfort zone.

This lends itself to a certain way of viewing the site: not as a codified belief system, but as a collection of potentially intellectually stimulating ideas, all of which interplay, respond, even conflict with each other.

It lends itself to an interpretation of me. Given its intended nature as an attractor, I want this site to embody who I am. And I think it does, just in a rather four-dimensional sense. I think were you to thoughtfully read all my publications in order, you would get a genuinely substantive impression of who I am, the way I engage with ideas, the paths my ontology is progressing down — one with far more detail than would be possible with a three dimensional snapshot.

My hopes for this site are vaguely as follows:

• Visitors find it interesting, and enjoy the cool aspects throughout
• The ideas contained within aid the reader in thinking and engaging more deeply with reality
• The depiction of myself presented is sufficiently accurate and enticing that those who should talk to me do, and those who should not (a very small group) do not.

I think in its current form, it does a passable job at these. But all the same, I have a list of changes to make when I find the time. And, of course, it’s hard to evaluate your own art, whatever form it may take. If there are modifications you think would further my directives, please let me know! I’m always looking for feedback.

All of that aside, at the very least, hopefully the reflections you’ve just read enhance your viewing experience.
