About

This website publishes my ideas on how people should think and feel about reality. It's open to everyone for private conversation, and all posts are retained indefinitely as context for that conversation, but superseded posts are only advertised through ancestor links. It's like philosophy with version history.

When you sign in, google will share your name, email and profile picture with me. I won't share this data with others. I won't send you email except in reply to feedback.

If you have any questions, you can ask me. Be sure to include an email address so I know where to send the reply.
