Then it uses headlines and toggling for further reading. I like when I see something doing what it says.
Combined with Bisociation: (A blending of elements drawn from two previously unrelated patterns of thought into a new pattern.) Which seems like what happens non-stop when you're on LSD; everything seems connected. The explanation of what this is and how it creates "serendipity" is rather spot on for what manic states feel like, too.
The layout and aesthetic choices of the site/content is really pleasing and it has references. Nice job, T.
The whole page feels like the output of a stream of consciousness writing exercise, complete with the expected qualities of being incoherent, maundering, abstract, and hollow.
There can be pleasure in imagination and invention, of course, but in my view this is onanistic drivel. I would not be surprised if this came from GPT-3.
