New-Age Bullshit Generator

Reionize electrons

Just click and the truth will manifest

Click the Reionize electrons button at the top of the page to generate a full page of New Age poppycock.

The inspiration for this project came from watching philosophy debates (such as this and this) in which Deepak Chopra was a participant.

After sitting through hours of New Age rhetoric, I decided to have a crack at writing code to generate it automatically and speed things up a bit. I cobbled together a list of New Age buzzwords and cliché sentence patterns and this is the result.

You’ll get some profound-sounding nonsense here, too.

So, what is this for? Put it on your website as placeholder text. Print it out as a speech for your yoga class and see if anyone can guess a computer wrote it. Use it to write the hottest new bestseller in the self-help section, or give false hope to depressed friends and family members.

(If you haven’t seen it, check out wisdomofchopra.com — unfortunately they beat me to it! I came across that page a few days after I’d finished the vocabulary list for this one. Must be synchronicity at work.)
