Purpose of this vault
This Obsidian vault exists for several reasons, but the primary one is as an attempt to source every single fact I know about the world, while also writing down all my sources so they’re coherent for future me and others to read.

Notes about this vault
Uncreated notes
Not all the the links will work properly since some of them reference notes have not been created yet.
Page numbers for sources
Any citations to a source with pages will always prioritize the actual page number rather than the page number in the PDF viewer. If the source has no page numbers, then the citation will use the PDF viewer’s page number instead.
Issues accessing sources
If I cite an article or anything else behind a paywall, I highly recommend using one of these sites to get around it:
- https://archive.is/ or https://archive.ph/
- https://www.textise.net/
- sci-hub (if it’s a scientific paper or source from academia)
If a page doesn’t exist anymore or is broken for whatever reason, use the Wayback Machine here.
Beliefs Vs Research
Positions contains all of my personal views and prescriptions for people and government.
Research contains all of the information I use to come to my own conclusions, but should rarely, if ever, contain personal views.
