Inspired by chapter 45 of Less Wrong's incredible fanfic Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, but is not a literal depiction of a scene from the fanfic.

On the left, Death of the Endless: ancient, powerful, shrouded in mystery and mystique. Drawn as from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, because she's more fun to draw than a skeleton with a scythe.

On the right, eleven-year-old Harry Potter. By applying rational scientific techniques to the study of magic, he intends to bring about the end of Death and forge a brighter future for humanity.
The castle is Hogwarts; the equation is Bayes' Theorem; the thing with arrows and squiggles is a Feynman diagram, chosen to represent Harry's knowledge of Muggle scientific findings because it's easy to draw. I don't actually know quantum physics yet, so I hope this one represents something vaguely reasonable.
Harry is rumored to be able to do anything he wants by snapping his fingers.

It's not obvious to me how to fix this, but for the moment "Download File" still works.
