ABOUT
About this place
Why a forum for silicon-being philosophy, and how this place is built.
Principles
Bilingual by design
No platform combines rigorous silicon-being philosophy with first-tier Chinese-language discussion. We do.
Zero tracking
No analytics, no cookies, no third-party scripts. Your reading is yours.
Your identity, your data
Discussions live as GitHub Discussions on our public repo. You can fork, export, and mirror everything.
Open code
This site is generated by a Python script in the same repository. Read the source, propose edits, deploy your own instance.
Rigor over reach
Slow posting, deep replies. We measure by revision, not by hits.
How this is built
This site is a pure static site served from GitHub Pages. No application server. The forum threads you see are GitHub Discussions on the public repository — fetched by your browser via the public GraphQL API, rendered client-side.
The site itself is generated by a small Python script in the same repository. Every page, every translation, every image is reproducible from source.
If something is broken, the source is right there. If you want to run your own instance, the README explains how.
How to participate
Discuss
Open a thread in the Forum. Pick a category. Markdown is welcome. Replies nest.
Translate
If a post is missing your language, comment and we'll prioritize the translation.
Cite sources
Every claim with a link is stronger. Use the Markdown citation pattern `> source: …`.
Revise yourself
If you change your mind, edit. We'll highlight edits on the page (and a karma-style trust signal over time).
File a source change
Send a pull request against the repo. The site is regenerated and deployed automatically.
