 	this will not change it. If you reach out to me via email I'll be happy to talk to you about it, though

 	I think many of these things will be realized in good time either way.

-<h3>That utilitarianism provides moral truth</h3>

 <p>

-	I was too concerned with the answer to the question of what is moral to consider that the question itself

-	is absurd on its face.

-</p>

-<h3>That phenomenal consciousness is solely emergent</h3>

-<p>

-	I neglected the information transfer problem. Epiphenomenalism is unpalatable. Interactive parralelism seems

-	to work, as does idealism.

-</p>

-<h3>That everything is necessarily material</h3>

-<p>

-	Consciousness is necessarily immaterial. Even if all else is matter, a single counterexample is evidently enough to

-	invalidate a proposition. 

-</p>

-<h3>That many things are hard</h3>

-<p>

-	Nothing I have done thus far has been hard, even when I go about it in the most contrived way possible.

-	I ought not assume that any future endeavour will be prohibitively challenging.

-</p>

-<h3>That there is such a thing as a justified belief</h3>

-<p>

-	Extrapolation is circular. Mathematics is meaningless.

-</p>

-<h3>That the narrative explanation is coherent</h3>

-<p>

-	And that it is possible to have no narratives without having a narrative of having no narratives.

-	See above.

+	Unfortunately, it turns out that I've never been wrong about anything! Just kidding, that statement

+	was an example of me being wrong about something.

-	Our model of the universe and of life is a generally causal one. Our brains are optimized to make decisions based on what they will cause. Consider a baby--their learning is centred on the causal relationships between their nerve impulses and their muscle movements.

-	A toddler, now, has mostly mastered this. Instead, they are discovering the broader causality of macro-movements. They are learning of force, of gravity, of pain. An older child who has developed these skills is now working out the relationships between the mental states of others and their actions, and it is with this that we are concerned. You see, it is quickly discovered by children that

-	There is a name for this critical principle: causal closure of the physical. Causal closure of the physical dictates that every effect must have a physical cause; an assumption that is generally shared by most men of science, and of those who subscribe generally to enlightenment thought.
