NODISM

Nodism is a philosophy born from Object Oriented Programming but accessible to all. Even if you have not coded, let’s think about it for a second —coders use logic to make GAMES, SIMULATIONS and AI.

Games, simulations and Artificial Intelligence model life. The logical modeling of life is called Philosophy. Coders are practicing philosophy.

• The philosophy is called Nodism.
• Followers are part of the Nodist Colony!

This guide will take you through the history and basics of Nodism.

HISTORY OF NODISM

In the winter of 2005, Dan Zen was “crazy-person writing” in his sketchbook. Looking for a name for the writing, he called it node notes and then in an “improvement” box, decided it should be a philosophy. He wrote nodology, nodelgy, nodogy, and then nodism. Nodism sounded good and somewhat goofingly familiar. Ten years later, he had amassed hundreds of pages of crazy person writing and a simpler understanding of our world.
