                    <p>
                        When I first made this site I made the philosophy commune which went over
                        some of my political views and the philosophy. Its messy and incoherent.
                        It was more of a peek into whatever I was thinking at the time as if
                        I cracked open my head and give you a look inside. It was raw and abstract
                        but not anything anyone besides myself would read and understand. You can find
                        the archive <a href="archive/the_philosophy_commune.html">here</a>.
                        <br/><br/>
                        Now that I am redoing this I want to make it more coherent, honest, and almost
                        spiritual in a kind of way if you can call it that. You can skip to whatever
                        parts you want but I recommand you don't because its going to read alot more
                        like a story and will slowly develop ideas throughout.

                    <h2 id="geist">The Geist</h2>
                    <p>
                        Throughout this website you will see me use the word geist alot. Geist is a German word
                        that can translate into three different words in English: ghost, spirit, and mind. I
                        always use it in place of <i>spirit</i> for its more flexible nature and the more abstract yet
                        almost mathical and mechanical ways it can be used.
                    <p>
                        
                    <h3>Case against the mythical</h3>
                    <p>
                        I don't believe in religion, god, spirits,
                        baby fucking jesus, magic.. or any of that bullshit. In every way imaginable I am indeed an
                        atheist. Everything can be demythized. Before you go saying "I am not religous, I am spiritual"
                        and go running to your mommy girlfriend that someone on the internet hurt your feelings and
                        you need your unwashed cock sucked to feel better about yourself I have much more to say: Once
                        you truly begain to demythize something the things you discover are much more beautiful, artist,
                        and meaningful than any myth or superstitions can ever be.
                        <br/><br/>
                        Take evolution for example: there is much beauty, meaning, and a chaotic sort of inner peace
                        that can be found knowing the way every species comes and goes into and out of existance and
                        how new species come to be from a sort of process that can be slow and careful at times and
                        fast and rough at others. A complex process that requires thinking about really small and really
                        large numbers on a scale are brains are not designed to understand. Don't know about you but that
                        gives me a sort of sad joy to think about and makes me think very big deep thoughts. Much more
                        beatiful than something as bluntly dumb as god.
                    </p>

                    <h3>How the brain works</h3>
                    <p>
                        <i>The brain looks like just a mooshy wet pink blob.</i> I want you to really think about that
                        sentence. Imagine holding your own brain in your hands. What does it look like? what does it
                        feel like? smell? sounds it makes when you play with it? even imagine the taste if your willing
                        to go that far. Congrats, you just used something I call <i>signal pathing</i>. Your brain has
                        many abstract components that are associated with different functions. They <b>dont serve</b>
                        different functions and <b>arent built for</b> namable functions. <b>Just assoicated with.</b>
                        By pathing signals through different components each one designed for processing data in a
                        special type of way your brain can in the most effective way with its given resources process
                        many types of information thrown at it in many ways. For example the same lanauge can have a
                        spoken version, written version, sign lanuage version, braille.. the brain can signal path
                        information can whatever snese its using to read that lanauge and send it to many other parts
                        for processing. Things like the minds eye, internal monologue... are all just artifacts of
                        signal pathing.
