In short, this website is an attempt to clarify my own thinking on a wide range of topics. Most of which are focused on the most fundamental of life’s questions: why are we here and how does the answer to this question impact the way we live? Occasionally I’d dive into more surface level topics that have little relevance to this question, but at a core, the purpose of this website is to store, organize, and improve the wisdom I acquire. 

You very well may disagree with many of my ideas and find much of it useless. That’s fine by me. This website isn’t for you or I, but rather the generations to come. My hope is that with years of consistent refinement, these ideas may be able to contribute to the improvement of our species. I write this not with arrogance that my ideas are above the rest or that I am somehow enlightened, but instead with the understanding that human knowledge is built with one brick at a time. My wish is to participate in this human tradition, and when the time has come, if I have earned it, the right to place my brick among those placed by those that have come before me. 

Almost everything you’ll find here has been borrowed (or stolen if you prefer that) from the great thinkers, philosophers, scientists and teachers of humanity. I add my own conclusions and evidence to theirs. If you disagree with something, challenge it. The improvement of these ideas is all I care for.
