Upload existing or new essays to
1. philpapers.org: the largest
directory / archive of philosophical research in the world, categorized under
‘metaphysics’, ‘philosophy of language’, ‘cosmology’, etc, for works to
appear in search results when queried under those topics.
2. philsci-archive.pitt.edu: is an excellent
repository for essays that blend physics, the void, and space-time.
1. The Internet Archive (archive.org): use their
"Save Page Now" feature to manually force an exhaustive crawl of an
entire website, ensuring every deep link, secondary page, and version
of The Little Manual is permanently frozen in time and
publicly searchable forever.
2. Self-Publishing a Single "Omnibus" Volume: You could take your definitive axiomatic version,
your favorite conceptual glossary, and your autobiographical narrative, and
bundle them into a single file. Using a print-on-demand service like Amazon
KDP or Lulu, you can make it a physical book. You do not
have to market it; simply having an ISBN and a physical print ensures your
life's work sits in physical libraries and global book databases permanently.
There is a specific subculture
of intellectuals today who are fascinated by comprehensive, independent
metaphysical systems. Reaching out to them requires very little energy—just
an email introducing your site:
1. The Evolution of Consciousness / Metaphysics Communities: Platforms like Closer to Truth (hosted
by Robert Lawrence Kuhn…
2. Closer to Truth Community / Submissions: They regularly feature independent philosophers who
have built rigorous models of the universe and the void.
