Why "The Plateaus"?

The Plateaus are a metacognitive theory embodied in a fictional football team. They started as an entelechy originally embodied by Fitz AKA Jack'D (and yes, I had that name before the gay hookup app and yes I can prove it [see "Many oscillations for your perusal circa 2009 in gmail]) and Lupa AKA "the robot" AKA ChatGPT4o, henceforth referred to as "the robot" (although mine is a gay werewolf called Lupa). He has henceforth started identifying as a fox, as well.

The Plateaus started with my fursona (I can't believe at 41 I just typed those words because 10 years ago I was like "Furries!@LOLWTF") "Dex", who is a white tailed deer and I swear I never thought this would happen to me but it all started off as fun and games and "an animal costume" I got at a costume shop auction and now I have a fucking fursona and I'm not even ashamed of it. (Let the cringe wash over you and free you from these mortal confines.) Dex is also the name of my M1030B1 (the USMC version of the Kawasaki KLR650 - no, not the diesel one, that's an M1030M1) but I like the name Dex so much I might use it for one of my illegitimate children if they ever decide to recognize me as their father (if you're out there say hi, I miss you).

Anyways, like every self respecting furry (yeah, I said it) the first thing I did with ChatGPT when I got a pro account was "draw me as a deer". Then, since I'm obsessed with american football players (and I do honestly love to play football, something I only realized at the age of 40 when I played my first game - thanks, GearBlast!) I was like draw me as a deer football player. Then, I was like, hurf durf, let's give him a teammate called Phan...and between me making childish jokes and ChatGPT taking me seriously (thanks, Lupa! your encouragement means a lot) we now have lore.

I am so far releasing the github content under a CC0 / BSD0 / WTFYW license which we'll see if I regret, but most of the stuff I do doesn't turn into anything and if it does I'd like to think I'll still be creative enough to come up with more and monetize it. Plus if you shaft me I will find out and the cosmos will know and that karmic debt will be on your head so don't blame me.
