Album: The Didact
Some feel that the flexibility
Of the human mind
Is irreconcilable with the notion
That it resides on rigid hardware
Though, if our self-understanding can’t ever be truly complete
Then perhaps it’s not so strange to feel that way
What was once such a tangible feeling
Now is lost
And seems to lead to a paradox
«You can’t consistently assert this truth.»
Whether you assert it or deny it You would inevitably admit
That you are not able to assert
Every single truth about yourself
You’ve reached the omega barrier
You can’t escape the system
Because it’s built out of you
We see complex emergent phenomena from deep within, bubble to the surface
This fits well with the observation
That we simply can’t force ourselves to describe the neural
Or even symbolic functions from whence something like ambition emerges from,
it’s just there
We could very well just be machines underneath it all and never be the wiser
Then so be it
It wouldn’t change anything
Nothing
Not a goddamn thing
