New book review: *Orthodoxy* by Chesterton.
It was really good but annoyingly rhetorical at times. My longest review yet.

Yay a book by Chesterton! I've started Tremendous Trifles recently, already like it after the first chapter :)

" [...] the death of your own individuality. That your self-hood is a consequence of the fragmentation we experience, an original sin of sorts. Not something to adore. That kind of talk never resonated with me [...]" Glad to think alike! I've always found it so weird to want to destroy or reduce the one thing that makes every human being awesome and unique. The lowest common denominator will always be just meh ;/

A lot of people view consciousness as an emergent property of the brain, but what does that really mean? What is emergence really? There are two types of emergence we have to consider: weak emergence and strong emergence. Weak emergence is your everyday emergence like how a song is composed of simpler tones or how computer parts operate from simpler hardware parts. Strong emergence on the other hand is just magic.

Thank you! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) I like your website's design a lot as well. About metka (the markup language), it is very barebones (though I may extend it in the future) - roughly around 300 lines of C - the general idea being that it gives you some simple "commands" that get transformed into HTML structures. I have tried Pandoc in the past, but found it really slow on my older PCs lol

Thanks for adding my button! I can relate to having one too many ideas/plans for what to do. I've always found it most rewarding to just take them one by one. Reminds me of something my HS literature teacher would often say: We don't find time to do what we like, we make our own time.
Thanks for adding my button as well! I'll keep your teacher's words in mind.
