02 / THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES DEPARTMENTFICTIONAL EXAMPLES. FAMILIAR FEELING.

GREAT PLAN.
SMALL PROBLEM.

Pick an intention.
Let reality finish the sentence.

THE INTENTION

Automate the boring work.

SOUNDS REASONABLE, RIGHT?
THE REALITY

Reality is waiting for you to commit to the bit.

03 / THE WHOLE THING

Every confident prediction.
Every perfect plan.
Every “what could go wrong?”

THAT’S THE
RAW MATERIAL.

The universe is writing comedy, and we keep submitting ourselves as material.

“Irony maximizer
working perfectly.”

THERE IS NO OFF SWITCH.

DON’T FIGHT
THE PUNCHLINE.
