+<p>
+ This document is an attempt to catalogue the mistaken beliefs I have held in the past. Each will include
+ a short description of why the belief is no longer held. Obviously, if you hold one of these beliefs,
+ 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.
