It Could Have Been Different is an offshoot of Mad Monk's "Pieces for Peace" smart contract which was deployed October 2022 on Foundation.

With this offshoot, I am playing with character variations on Putin. Reimaging him as a different person and releasing at the very least my own mind from the confines of a deterministic view of history. I believe in chance, change, agency and still yet again and once again the human condition is a big bag of mistakes and hurt. But yet I want to play with the idea of something that can be different. So Putin is one of the main antagonists of this concept and smart contract. Time might bring in others but given the bear market and your reluctance to collect enough to fund me, I would probably move on to something else before that happens. For now let's play variations on him..

"Wars are not a must. That which is inevitable is the human kind and the folly henceforth springs from this fact." -- Sonorius the Wise, from the Book of Somethings and More

Pieces for Peace aka PFP (! with pun intended !) is Mad Monk's brainwork heavy lifted with AI imagery. Its process inception is mixing techniques of the masters. Its content inception is to start with Putin, Russia, Ukraine and the war. Then move quickly to play with the imagery to ask and seek a better alternative. 2022!
