 	I use PHP for templating, CSS for styling, and no JavaScript at all. The server supports HTTPS using Let's Encrypt.

 	I'm Kai Stevenson, and this is my personal Web site for things that I like, such as programming, music, philosophy, and photography. 
-	Whereas I've done some cool things and whereas people sometimes like looking at cool things, you may want

+<p>

+	The phrase "The Hard Problem" was coined in 1994, and is the subject of no small controversy. It is something that

+	I have attempted to create a satisfactory explanation for over most of my life, to constant frustration. I am writing

+	this article now, not because I have solved the problem, but because I have failed to solve the problem enough times

+	that I am confident I can clearly describe the exact nature of the problem. It is in describing the very nature of the

+	problem that many authors begin to introduce confusion; through a careful propositional structuring of my argument, I

+	intend to avoid this error, and to then convince the reader that my specific interpretation of the hard problem is both

+	the only reasonable belief, and intrinsically, fatally flawed. In doing so, I hope to enable the reader to share in my

+	frustration as it concerns this unsolveable problem.

 <p>

 	This is the index page for my writing. Each link leads to a different thing that I've written!

-	Writing happens to be one of the better ways to express logically structured ideas, and it also

-	happens to be something I find relatively easy. For those reasons, I prefer communicating through

-	the written (or spoken) word than through mathematics or art.

+	Language in general tends to be fairly efficient for communicating certain types of thought, and

+	while I typically prefer spoken language, written language enables more carefully structured logical

+	argumentation--which is useful for philosophy and mathematics.
