+<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.
+</p>
+<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.

 <p>
 	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.
+</p>
+<h2>Essays</h2>
+<p>
+	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.
