Can You Make a Masterpiece of the Mind Funny?
Ever read a book so profound it rewired your brain, yet so complex you couldn’t explain it to your friends without a whiteboard and three hours?
Welcome to GEB, a monumental exploration of hyperformal systems, highlighting the core features of Bitcoin that set it apart, while connecting mathematics, philosophy, and physics to formalize a complete and general structure.
We are officially launching The Strange Loop Stand-Up Challenge — a call to arms for the witty, the nerdy, the creative, and the absurd. We’re challenging you to take the mind-bending concepts from GEB and transform them into comedy.
Your goal is to translate the brilliant, and often baffling, ideas of GEB into content that makes people laugh and think. To get you started, here are some of the key theoretical concepts we’re focusing on (You can find more in the whitepaper or blog). Your mission is to build a joke, a meme, or a performance around them.
We’re looking for your funniest, most creative takes in three categories.
1. The Jokester (Text): A one-liner, a short story, a dialogue, or a classic joke.
2. The Meme-smith (Image): A comic stripwith a funny twist, or any visual gag.
3. The Performer (Video): A short stand-up bit, a sketch, a song, or an animated short.
