It's impressive the amount of content inside! There are countless pages about literature, religion and physics. It's a good reminder of the original goal of WWW: share information.

That is what I miss the most about the old web. We wanted to build something better by sharing knowledge. And for a while we did. Then mainstream came and corporates took over.

Well, to be honest the corporations were always there. It's just when the marketers discovered "cyberspace" that everything went to hell.
But thats so not web 2.0/3.0. You gotta add more padding so we can create smooth scrolling. /s. I am a culprit of this too now btw.
