Projects SI 28/The Metathinking Metamachine

Author: Tommi

Description

Humanity is immensely lucky to inhabit a planet that provides many tools to help people solve all their problems. Tools are ubiquitous yet paradoxically invisible. Nevertheless, some gifted, wise, and mighty men take care about making and maintaining them for the rest of the World.

The Magical Metamorphic Metathinking Metamachine is the ultimate tool to transcend to the next level of humanity, the tool that can liberate ourselves from all tools. Take part in this unprecedented event, and in a handful of seconds you will finally become proficient at coding in Rust, self-host your Linux server, enhance your digital self through note-taking, and more!

Context and Background

Since the very moment I started XPUB I have been (over)thinking, possibly obsessing, about the making of Pöuli, and of the (currently very incomplete) website for the Special Issue 28. Wholly absorbed by my tooling hyperfocus, I lost track of time. All collective conversations passed through me. Before I could realize it, people were forming groups and started working on their project for the main event at Ubik.

So Tommi, what are you going to do?
Ehm…
…
…
…
…
I will build The Metathinking Metamachine!

I genuinely had no idea about what that meant. In my head, I could not picture anything beyond the face of Niklas Luhmann, the inventor of the prodigious Zettelkasten system.
