Spring Cleaning

Updated on March 17, 2026

It's been a while since I've made serious changes to the site. I started with some very simple collapsible sections for my pages. It'll help my notes section primarily but everything should be improved. I like it.

I'm going to abandon doing work on Spinoza and only do notes for Stirner. Not only do I prefer him, I have unique things to say about him, but I also want this website to be something I can return to and refresh myself on ideas with. Often times I have done exactly that in the past couple of years when talking to people, or just whenever I have the time. Plus writing this all out and semi-organizing it will cement it all further into my own mind.

Expect all future updates to be like this.

Forming Thoughts

Updated on August 28, 2023

The first step to writing is simply writing despite the quality at first...

Now that school is in a momentary lull I've put more effort on putting together an analysis on Spinoza and Stirner (not together just separately). It's nice since I give myself an excuse to reread some of my favorite writers both who put serious amounts of time into the works they wrote. Of course I likely won't ever be able to call myself a scholar of either since I'm struggling to learn French in my free time. To add Latin (to be fair I've already taken courses for it), Dutch, and German on top would really be a nightmare. But that's alright, this is meant for me and getting a pat on the head from academia isn't necessary.

To start off with I'm mainly taking notes and rereading 'The Philosophy of Spinoza - Special Edition' and 'The Unique and It's Property'. In the analysis I do a bit of interpretation as I go along, but I mostly try to leave it to when I'm finished. From there I'll do critique and evaluation, before moving to include secondary information. Once I'm done I plan on linking it all in some form here, and continuing on with other authors as well. In the time in between updating that I'll write reviews on the books I've given a first reading to, like for example the most recent paperback 'The Moral Fool' which I found...rather lacking.

Still in thought, please don't mind the mess...

This site is intended to serve as an ongoing pet project, and a place for me to store my thoughts. I intend to keep this page as a blog as my life goes on, while keeping separate pages for other topics.
