       <h3>Philosophy</h3>
+      <h4>The Problem with Modern Computing</h4>
       <p>
-	Post early 2000's software is bloated, rights infringing, centralized and political.
-	Long gone are the days of individual software freedom, and individual invention.
-	The world has changed, and the world has fallen victim to the one and only thing that
-	could possibly destroy freedom. Corporatist consumerism.
+	As computers get faster get faster, code quality and performance get's worse. The tragectory of the software world
+	(particularily in the web dev sector) is to produce solutions to problems, without considering
+	performance, optimization, and availability. How many billions of CPU cycles have been
+	lost rendering SPA's and PWA's? In reality, computers are limited tools for communication, mathematics,
+	and entertainment, not for loading 2MB JavaScript payloads, that in turn render the page.
+      </p>
+      <h4>Solve Your Own Problems</h4>
+      <p>
+	These ideas also, drastically effect the availability of software. Most software nowadays is horrifically bloated.
+	It's not rare to see 2GB `node_modules` folders when working on Node.js projects, and the best part is, half of
+	the packages are just simple packages like `isOdd` and `isEven`. How lazy have developers become? We reach for
+	pre-made solutions to well-defined problems when we could easily write our own without exposing our software to
+	potential security vulnerabilities, and inturn reducing bloat. Some developers will argue
+	"why do it yourself when I can get a premade solution, that I know works!" Sure, download that dependency, link that
+	project to yours, but know this. You will <b>never</b> develop anything truly unique if the solutions to <u>your</u>
+	problems are solved by people smarter than you. Simply put, how do you think the library creators made it to the level
+	they're at today?
+      </p>
+      <p>
+	Packages also, can make us feel very productive. This is something that Jonathan Blow points out in one of his talks,
+	Blow mentions that high-level languages, and libraries make us feel like we're doing a lot more than we really are.
+	Ken Thompson and company wrote most of Unix in 3 weeks; an entire operating system, kernel and all. Compare this to
+	the most "productive" day of a web developer. Blow demonstrates in his talk that as companies progress they hire more
+	and more people, but the products and codebases of the companies rarely change drastically enough to warrant this. Meta
+	for example, employs 71 thousand people as of 2021, how often does Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp change?
+	To put it nicely, most developers don't do very much at all.
+	(To put it in math terms where p(x) = productivity per employee, and x = number of employees,
+	Lim x -> &infin; p(x) = 0).
+      </p>
+      <p>
+	It is far more interesting, educational, and engaging to solve problems, rather than use a pre-built solution. Developers
+	will create truly unique, and engaging solutions that can be iterated and improved, when needed without having to pester
+	library maintainers. And to top it all off, your solution will be unique to your workload and problem. You will be solving
+	your problem better than something generic.
+      </p>
+      <h4>The Core 2 Duo Standard</h4>
+      <p>
+	Software before the 2010's had to take into account the machines that they were running on, in turn
+	causing software to be developed in a more intimate way. Machines were fair, but not powerful. Think,
+	Intel Core 2 Duo, 2-4gb of DDR2. This hardware is actually very good, and in my opinion as much as an
+	average person needs (even today). If you write software (outside of graphics programming, games, etc),
+	and it can't run on a Intel Core 2 Duo, you need to seriously re-think what you're doing, and how you're doing it.
+      </p>
+      <h4>Conclusion</h4>
+      <p>
+	Do it yourself. Only use what you need. Take ownership of your work.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+	It's really a beautiful and unique way to approach software, and to an extent, life.
+	I find much more gratification and self purpose when I solve my own problems indepdent of pre-existing solutions.
+	The world would be a much better place if we focused more on what we need vs. what we want. This is especially powerful
+	in software, but can also be applied to how your own happiness. Finally, taking ownership and responsibility of your
+	work will make you better at the work, and also, a more pragmatice person overall.
