Description

I You, who would sooner build, than read a manifesto: good. The loudest aren't the builders. They've always been too busy: We still can't say how the pyramids rose from sand: 4,000 years and their secrets stay enshrined. Sagrada Família topped its tallest spires this year, 144 years after laying the first stone. Humankind's most-perfect mirror unfurls a million miles out from Earth, catching the universe's first glint. (Our boosters now land themselves, to fly again and again.) A country under fire assembles an air force from hobby parts, faster than the empire beside it can send tanks. The lab grows a heart valve from one human's own cells. And a few thousand coders keep a World Computer no one owns humming along for years at 100% uptime. II Making houses for each other on different scales...is one identical act. We're under construction, endless. No artifact is finished; this work is the same. (And game recognize game.) Here's a stage for the humblest builder of them all: a redeemer who ships work day after day. A beaver. The highest form of creation, after all, is creating room for more. III This is the first card of a deck. Free to keep, free to copy. A collection you can hold, and shuffle, and divine. It's also a score we can hear, with friends beside us. Something you can finally put in the hands of the people you love, and show them what you've been part of all this time. A way to say what this is all worth (without numbers or acronyms). Made to reach people who'll never touch a wallet. And if you build, it comes from you, too.
