Tomorrow I will buy a newspaper that contains the Dunesbury comic strip.

You know you have arrived when Dunesbury starts mocking you.
Wouldn't you agree, Governor Moonbeam, that D-bury can make or break you?

Do you think that Mentifex here will ever be mocked as the Netkook Kahuna who mailed out a registered set of -- get this -- more than a hundred postcards certifying his own insanity?

If it please the Court, let kooky facts be submitted to a Candid World.

I had no idea how much I would enjoy dilettanting the postcards to used-book stores all over America. During this past week, I discovered that quite a few of the outfits maintain a store on eBay.

https://www.ebay.com/str/catamountbooks

https://www.ebay.com/usr/prairiea

https://www.ebay.com/str/themainebookhouse

https://www.ebay.com/str/whitlocksbookandmapbarns

So I sent them secondary postcards asking for inclusion on eBay.

I also changed the description of the authentication page eBay.html to read:
"Postcards for sale on eBay to force the issue of
the value of Mentifex AI Theory and AI software".

Bookstores receiving the kookcards might otherwise jump to the confusion that an attempt is being made here to promote the AI4U book, and not to slam-bang one Civilization into Contact, Jodie, with another.

Here we might as well mention Self-Promotion Saturday in the scifi subReddit. If you are a wannabe science fiction writer, you are allowed to promote your own work on Self Promotion Saturdays. "Duryakee!" as the Soviet ambassador exclaims in Doctor Strangelove, "Those fools!" So for several Saturdays in a row, Mentifex has been linking to his own AI webpages, and today he made sure that

https://ai.neocities.org/AiLaw.html -- Artifiial Intelligence: Law and Policy

has a link to "Mentifex Autograph Authentication" at the bottom.

Paranoidly, Mentifex sometimes imagines that Google is careful in what it reports about Mentifex, because Mentifex is a competitor in the Winner-Take-All AI Sweepstakes.
