Cute. I am reminded of the short story "Tower of Babylon" by Ted Chiang in which he writes science fiction/speculative fiction about ascending a fictitious Tower of Babel as it would have been imagined centuries ago.
Interesting. The biblical story itself seems like an example of early science fiction, an early anxiety about the power of technology.
For what it's worth the comic is Dresden Codak by Arryn Diaz. It started out as random one off's and somehow found a story along the way. Very well drawn with fun science fiction. Highly recommended.
grug brains obviously not yet know how trap complexity demon.
grugs learn with time. and pain. much, much pain.
complexity demon put food on table. grug struggle with contradiction. pain. much, much pain.
true. grug who learn wrangle complexity demon get much shiny rock. but grug brain only handle so much over lifetime. grug get paranoid. lift up rock, turn over leaf, expect find complexity demon waiting. not good for grug, or grug family, friends.
grug brain tie up knots. grug wake in night brain full of demon. complexity demon come home roost.
sound like grug need to use some accrued pto, take break from problem for while.
