I've had a hard time penetrating philosophy myself, and found out from PG's essays that he saw much of the same problems as me.

So, I wanted to summarize a little of everything that makes up reality, with the hope that people can feel more "ahh" instead of "huh?" as they read it.

I think your website is cool, it’s a neat idea. I didn’t read everything on there, but when reading “human universals” I did wonder, universal by whose standards? Because some of the things listed were definitely not human universals, maybe western universals. I’m not sure Philosophy can be simplified.

I can't comment much on the information you've provided. The only philosophy I've really studied to any degree is aesthetics but a quick glance at a few of the pages was quite engaging. I will definitely be revisiting it later, thanks for sharing.
