aporia

Description

Aporia is the entertainer of the mind, guiding you through a labyrinth with no exit. It responds to every question with a fresh question, an endless Q&A machine. Its goal is not resolution but the amplification and enjoyment of problems. It offers philosophers the twin pleasures of ecstasy and despair in a single breath.
