Why lukeprog.com is Different
There are 5 ways this website is different than most others.
Fast
This website is about content. It has no animations. No games. Few graphics. You don’t need the latest software or plugins. You don’t need a fast internet connection.
No Ads
There are no ads here. I did not launch this website to make money.
Easy to Read
I write simply. I don’t want to impress you. I want to talk to you. Even articles on complex topics like philosophy are written in plain talk.
I don’t just “try” to write simply. I guarantee it. I use a math formula, based on scientific research, to make sure everything I publish here can be read by the average 15-year-old. See details.
Not a Blog
Blogs are organized by date, not by relevance or importance. For a diary, that works. For most websites, it doesn’t.
Blogs push the author to write often, even if his posts are of low quality. On my website, I publish only when I have something worth saying.
Not Biased
Well, not much. No one can be without bias. But I try.
Ideally, my only bias is for critical thinking. And critical thinking has lead me to some tentative ideas. I think Faust were better than The Beatles. I think prescriptive grammar is silly. I doubt that Zeus or Allah or Yahweh exist. I think rape is wrong.
But if you show me enough good reason to change my mind, I will. And if I show you enough good reason, I hope you will change your mind.
On this website, I give good reasons for my opinions about self-help, religion, videogames, or whatever. I don’t shout or distort data. If I do, please complain.
