About Me

+

+ As previously stated, my name is Kai Stevenson, and despite having a rather high opinion of myself, + I do not enjoy self promotion. However, I do enjoy music, so let's do this in song form! + Kidding. But really, I hate it. +

+

+ It's commonly stated that it is a man's actions, not his words, that define him. Comforting though this thought may be, + I'd like to propose that the nature of my existence in your world will be defined less by my actions and more by words. + Maybe I'm wrong. Either way, I ask that if you want to know me, you consider the ideas I propose. Wrong though they may + sometimes be, they are--I hope--reflective of my character. To that end, the writing page of my + website is an attempt to collate some of my thoughts. Maybe it will be of interest to you. +

+

Donations

+

+ Not happening. This server costs less in a year than driving my car for a day. If you want to support me, contribute + to one of my programming projects, or just write me a nice email. +

Web Services

+

+ I host a few different services on this VPS. This site--aberrantflux.xyz--doesn't need much introduction. There's also + files.aberrantflux.xyz, my file server; and + git.aberrantflux.xyz, my git server. I'm thinking about adding a web radio for + my music. +

    That utilitarianism provides moral truth

    +

    + 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. +

    +

    That phenomenal consciousness is solely emergent

    +

    + I neglected the information transfer problem. Epiphenomenalism is unpalatable. Interactive parralelism seems + to work, as does idealism. +

    +

    That everything is necessarily material

    +

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

    +

    That many things are hard

    +

    + 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. +

    +

    That there is such a thing as a justified belief

    +

    + Extrapolation is circular. Mathematics is meaningless. +

    +

    That the narrative explanation is coherent

    +

    + And that it is possible to have no narratives without having a narrative of having no narratives. + See above. +

    This is the index page for my writing. Each link leads to a different thing that I've written! - Some of these were written for assignments, and some just because I felt like it. + 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. +

    +

    Essays

    +

    + Moderately structured, opinionated writing. If you're the psychoanalytical type, you may be interested to know + that I find it much more fun to deconstruct a question than to construct an answer.
