Goose.us – Another blog from a wannabe philosopher

So I made a blog site, I imagine that isn't overly exciting or novel around these parts, but since HN is the best community I'm aware and apart of, I figured I'd try to show it off here anyways. I'm feeling particularly happy for finally using my sweet domain that is my also my handle: https://goose.us/ I'd love to get any opinions on readability, accessibility, performance, and any other feedback on the web technology aspects. I did my best to keep it accessible and performant. The about page has details on the technology I used to make it, but TL;DR - Hugo, a blank starter template, some custom shortcodes, typebase css, and hand-coded minimal vanilla JS. I'd also love feedback on my first post, which is about The Purpose of Life, though I think you may find it different from your typical "The Purpose of Life" post. https://goose.us/thoughts/the-purpose-of-life/ I draw a lot from the work of Sean Carroll in his latest book, The Big Picuture , as well as some awesome MinutePhysics and MinuteEarth videos. Thanks for any consideration I may receive and even if I receive none, I owe the HN community much appreciation for being one of the best forums for developing my thinking/writing/discussion skills.
