 <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.
