It's LIVE - head over to iamnotgoodatcomputer.com to experience the new thing. A couple notes: There's two parts to the project - HyperCards and Screens. The hypercards are pretty cheap, 10 of each card. You can get a discount on the generative screens (made with @luka ) for every 4 cards you mint. There's original music by DUSKO, and I hope you have all the time in the world to explore the complex networked set of ideas in the stacks.

This is not Seneca but isn't it interesting that it's in google image results for him?

I got a kick out of using things like Fight Club for titles for more uh, serious subjects like Walter Benjamin.

I don't want AI to play "survey says" to discern the truth.

The reason it matters to care passionately about something is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size

The weirdest thing about Jim Jones is probably that people assume he was right-wing insane but he was actually kinda leftist.

So, the method to view a card just has to guess the id. https://iamnotgoodatcomputer.com/?card=pale_fire

I think Emergence theory is really interesting. There's a way to direct link to each card if you know how to enter the query. I've been screenshotting them the way they actually appear on the site (iamnotgoodatcomputer.com) because I think the juxtaposition with the generative art is important.

What if there's a multiverse? Who else went down the rabbithole of exploring Hugh Everett's theory of multiverses?
