What People Actually Read
Most Read
This site has more than 50 essays, tools, apps and trackers.
If you don't know where to start, here they are ordered by how many times each was actually opened.
No editor's picks; the numbers decide. The method is explained below.
Overall
Every open counts as one, whether it came from the portal, a search engine or a shared link. Repeat visits count too (we don't record who opened what).

How the count works
- 01What is countedA tiny script on each page sends one "opened" ping when it loads. Time on page and scroll depth don't affect the ranking
- 02What is not countedNo IP addresses, devices or names are stored. Only the tally, so a returning reader counts again
- 03Which periodAll-time totals. Older works have an edge, so look for newer ones in the per-theme lists below
- 04How freshThe page re-reads the database on every request (cached for five minutes)
By theme
Tools and games tend to rise to the top overall, so here is the same data re-ranked inside each theme. Reading a theme from its #1 downward is the most natural way through this site.

Reading the ranking
The top spots go to things that pay off in seconds: the quantum roulette, the genius ranking.
Long reads like GHOST/DIVE or Quantum Mechanics & Consciousness are opened by fewer people, but those people stay.
A low rank does not mean a weak piece. If you want a long read, start from "Mind, Brain & Cosmos" below.
The trackers (BCI WATCH, FREE WILL WATCH, IMMORTAL WATCH, AGENT NOTES) update automatically every morning.
To follow them in one place, add the Atom feed to your reader.
