The Beauty of Reason

Me and my friends Todd, Adam, and Noah are planning to play what will be our second game of Nomic. (Yes, we're nerds; what of it?) This round will hopefully go better than the first, which sort of fell apart after a failed attempt at a coup, made by me, mostly to point out some loopholes in the ruleset which I had a hand in making. But that's not the reason for this post.

In the course of getting this game together, gMail took our conversation to indicate my interest in a number of interesting targeted ads. In particular, one for Project Orbular, which raises some questions:

• What the fuck is this?
• Why does it have paid advertisements?

Behold, for example, the scintillating debate examples, such as one about file-sharing, and that on pornography. I'm certainly glad someone developed a method which "[o]bjectively solves issues on human value, fault, and other personal concerns," because those were really bugging me.
