What a nice surprise to find this puzzle! I only found it after finishing Elite.
Both books were excellent - thank you for all the effort you've put into these, M.

Thank you all for the nudges. For a bit, I thought it would be puzzles all the way down, and I keep worrying I've still missed a layer. Time for the Elite book!

Okay, so I've started this journey. I've completed the facade puzzle, and I'm scrolling through darkness. I can click on a hidden link, and am sent back to the solution cards with "?because=I-choose-to" in the URL. What am I supposed to do with this? The hints below around "italicized words" and the word "the" are not helpful, as clicking on those or entering them does nothing. Other commenters have mentioned something "jiggling" or a video starting, but neither of those "clues" are relevant either as there is no movement anywhere, nor any place to start a video.
Resolved: this appears to be a browser issue, likely impacted by screen resolution. Attempting to scroll down into the darkness with the browser screen maximized will not prompt the video to auto play. Scaling the window down, or setting it to "partial" window (not minimized) will start the video and you can proceed through the remainder of the puzzle as intended.

How do I start this puzzle? I see many references to the solution cards and the dates on those cards, but my solution card screen doesn't have any dates, nor are any of the cards moveable. All of my puzzles are marked as solved. What gives?
Edit: I finally figured out that you have to enter incorrect answers repeatedly until it gives you the link to actually start the puzzle. Oooookay? Anyways, there's the answer for you future problem solvers to actually get started on this one.

I got it. The movie clip never played until I used a different device. I guess it was a glitch on my tablet or the internet I was using. Thank you!

Ah, I think your going about it wrong, look for any other place you may find an italicized word
If you’re still stuck:
The word ‘the’ in the solution box

I am stuck after the facade puzzle. I scrolled down until it turns dark. I tried scrolling for a while after the dark to see if it got light again. I clicked on all the words and tried putting the italicized words in the original solution box. Help! I do not know what else to try.

I have clicked on and tried to move every italicized word after the facade puzzle. Maybe I have been going at it too long. but I am stuck! Any further hints?

It’s not quite over, pay attention to the italicized word

I finally finished all subsequent puzzles but there doesn't seem to be an ending point after entering the solution to the facade puzzle - just get the screen fading to black as you scroll down? Is there supposed to be something more after that?

Oh, wow - that did the trick!! Zoomed out and was able to complete. Thanks! Onward.... :)

Howdy—I was solving that on a Mac, and found it much simpler whe I finally zoomed out the view as far as I could.

Make sure you type in your answer, then hit enter, rather than clicking that puzzle piece button at bottom right. The button always just takes you to the puzzle page, but you have to come back to type in your answer.

Thank you for your suggestion. When I type either one in that box, it takes me right back to the red/blue pill page.
On October 13, 2022 at 2:45PM EST EMC2 responded to Adventurik:
You don't actually do anything on that page, just note which pill you want to take. Then type that into the answer box on the main 42 page.

Ahh, this one is pretty simple, All you have to do is identify the pattern in each of the three sections.
Answers (to the best of my memory) in case you get stuck.
1 Words with double letters
2Words starting with vowels
3Words that start with the same letter as the last letter of the previous word
