a beautiful (static?) website for showcasing a beautiful cipher

excellent work on both fronts (solving, and showcasing)

while he failed to demonstrate that the spirits of men continue to exercise control over this realm (after all, is it not Satan who presently rules this world?), he left something beautiful and interesting that genuinely took a while to solve considering how close it was to the computing revolution

Bold claim that anyone is in charge at all, frankly.

The claim is not about a person.

What is Satan is simply the emergent system comprised of all of mankinds current desires and actions driven by them?

Yeah, I'm overthinking things but it is fun to wonder.

Not to be too snarky but this does sound a lot like ChatGPT.

a literal interpretation of what I said would be a person, but you could also interpret it more broadly as all demon-kind

both work, and it doesn't really change what I was saying, though my authorial intent was in fact to refer to the person

not that bold, but I suspect a discussion on the topic would either be unfruitful - or if it was a good conversation, would be shutdown by the site operators
