Brain Tickles

Choices are being replaced with suggestive algorithms. Stories are being generated by a computer with no life experience. Vacations are being summarized and ranked by social media to be planned by yet another math machine. Photographs are being manipulated to be better than they actually were. Videos are being optimized for retention and ad breaks.

A life of comfort can lead to the feeling of unease and anxiety, humans are inherently curious and have a tendency to create, explore by themselves, foolishly. This is why we made this deck of cards. This card deck is about intentionally choosing friction over comfort. To randomize your life and tickle your known walked neural pathways.

So grab your three dimensional meat suit and get out there.

“Curiosity is a journey. And you have to trust that it will lead you somewhere.”
