This is a summary of philosophical truths, explained for my simple commonplacing and your public consumption. Consult my method to see how I built it.

NOTE: I no longer consider any of these essays to be sufficiently right anymore. I keep it here for archival purposes, and am currently working to migrate all non-opinion aspects to this notes page, with this site existing as mostly a TL;DR and link to them.
