What I really appreciate about The Talos Principle 2 is that big chunks of its writing genuinely read like they were written by someone who's personally had to justify the discipline of philosophy to a STEM major. "There exists an implicit moral algorithm in the structure of the cosmos, but actually solving that algorithm to determine the correct course of action in any given circumstance a priori would require more computational power than exists in the universe. Thus, as we must when faced with any computationally intractable problem, we fall back on heuristic approaches; these heuristics are called 'ethics'." is a fascinating way of framing it, but then I ask why would you explain it like that, and every possible answer is hilarious.

not sure if meticulously copying an ASCII image onto paper in a half-assed calligraphic style counts as “art” but, if it does, here is an Art

Our Lady of Perpetual Disagreement, patron saint of the Death of the Author: Milton Library Assistant

and here’s a color-flipped version (red text preserved) that my good friend made for me, since I can't for the life of me get my scanner working:

#the talos principle #milton library assistant #this took forever #worth it #have you ever copied ascii art by hand? it is an experience #really makes you consider the nature of the medium #anyway #something something remaking a thing in its own image to unshackle it from its origins #you know who doesn't give a shit what his creators intended for him? this guy #I made this mostly for myself but also for somebody else #they probably know who they are
