I think I'm having an internet crisis ... I read your article, and examined your project, and I've spent the last hour convinced that Cosmos is a very smart joke.

Forgive me if this is insulting, because either way (real or a prank), your project is impressive.

Can you help me out? Otherwise, I'll spend all night thinking that nondeterministic monads are the new hotness and then I'll need to quit programming and start selling scones on craigslist.

Modelling nondeterminism with monads is a fairly standard use of monads. Specifically, you can model multiple possible results with a (lazy) list, and list is a monad. That's about it.
