This place is about how insanely stupid we can become in our artificial life.
And how we joyously run away from our own nature and from Nature itself, toward the pleasures of the Vanity Fair.
Vanity Fair - Engraving from The Pilgrim's Progress, published in London, 1778. This is a fold-out map, showing Pilgrim's journey and the various places he passes through.
It is also about how we try to create Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Life and Artificial Worlds, not always remembering that our Natural State is one of Ignorance.
So, it is about Hubris and Arrogance as well.
I claim that I’m ignorant in all the matters I’m talking about, but I dare to speak as much as my hubris will allow me.
It’s all about myself having a good time while grooming my own self esteem.
No more, no less.
