Anthem
The Elders of WLBOTT have been engaged in a lively (and as yet, bloodless) search for the WLBOTT Anthem, as we anticipate our looming Sovereign Statehood.

The Founders “Weigh In”
He-who-must-not-be-named will be photographed, fingerprinted, and, of most interest to the Elders of WLBOTT, weighed. We have a betting pool going. Prizes TBD. Price Is Right rules do not apply. Current positions: The Official Line We placed our guesses before the official line was established, and I’m surprised how close we all came:
Today’s BLOTT has an interesting stream of consciousness. It started with a conversation with UC#3: “How hard can it be to tune your own piano?” [ed. note: very hard] Which led to…. Which somehow led to solving the seemingly easy, but actually really difficult problem: [from UC#3] I have spent many hours and actually have […]

The Hangman’s Paradox and Free Will Is there something we can learn about free will from The Hangman’s Paradox? First we’ll need two volunteers. ChatGPT to […]
