What we will do, and what we won’t. Written down so you can hold us to it.
Our
commitments
We will
- Keep reading free. No account, no paywall, no sign-up to read anything here.
- Ask for as little as possible. Your name and email are always optional when you write to us.
- Read every message. And reply when you give us a way to.
- Credit our sources. Most of our ideas come from Madhyasth Darshan, given by Shri A. Nagraj. We say so, with page numbers, so you can check.
- Say where we might be wrong. Every essay ends with its weak points, not only its strong ones.
- Correct ourselves in public. When a reader changes our understanding, we update the page and record what changed and when.
- Report once a year. We will publish what we learned, including what didn’t work.
- Welcome disagreement. A counterexample is a contribution, not an attack.
We won’t
- Show ads. Not on this site.
- Track you. No advertising or tracking cookies, and no profiles of our readers.
- Sell or rent your information. To anyone, ever.
- Recruit or pressure. Nobody has to join anything, believe anything or buy anything.
- Claim more than we know. Where something is untested, we will say so.
- Hide changes. If we change an essay’s meaning, the change will be visible.
