Haha, this was silly. I forgot to update my mail form page with my PHP footer that you see at the bottom of every page. Here was the old, stupid Javascript timestamp: "This page last modified on Sunday, January 9, 3900." I thought Javascript was supposed to return the year minus 1900. That's what it did in IE before the year 2000. Is this a bug? Well, this is what Mozilla returned: "This page last modified on Wednesday, December 31, 1969". I swear this thing worked before 
. Oh well, good riddance to Javascript. This is why you do things on the server side!
I really want to do a redesign of my site. If anyone has any ideas for colors or anything please let me know.
I changed my homepage to only show the last five days of updates.
About falsifiability:
I can say there's a giant big blue rubber thumb out in outer space somewhere, and that's impossible for us to falsify. Unless you have reason to believe that there is, in fact, a big blue rubber thumb in outer space, then believing that it is so is arbitrary and groundless.
Found a cool link at Lingua Franca:
Soul Survivor: The Logic of Reincarnation.
I didn't realize that Plato believed that reincarnation accounted for our knowledge of forms. Unfortunately it doesn't work, since, 1. if the soul isn't eternal, where did we first learn the forms anyway? 2. if the soul is eternal, then why believe in reincarnation rather than just an a priori knowledge of all forms? and 3. regardless of whether the soul is eternal or not, his entire system requires an infinite number of forms and collapses under its own weight.
I liked the article though, although it didn't ask the obvious question: why believe in reincarnation in the first place? It may be impossible to prove one or the other empirically, but it's arbitrary to believe in reincarnation. What reasons can one give as to why he believes in it? Arbitrariness is not a way to set up one's worldview.
