Are you the magician, or are you the apprentice?
The question is not your ability to bring forth new things.
The question is your ability to dismiss them.

News: February 10, 2005
In 2001, I said that I did not intend to make things available here
until they had reached a certain level of completeness, because I
thought that prior to that point, they would be more confusing than
helpful. Since then, I have scrapped two full versions of this site
and heavily revised a third. Nonetheless, four years later, I have
finally reached the point described. Although not yet complete, I
believe there is enough here that it will be more helpful than
confusing. Thus, consistent.org is now open.
A few people gave me favorable comments on consistent.org recently,
and without those people I would have been much less likely to finish
this update. Thanks for the appreciation.
I no longer agree with the positions taken by
the following essays; I believe that both indicate a failure to
understand certain key concepts. I have left them here for now, but
it must be noted that they do not represent my current views on the
subjects.
You can also look at the list of things
hosted at consistent.org.
