text: Breathe life into me weary traveller, let me occupy your thoughts for a little while. I'm dot, pleased to meet you.. You're not much of a talker are you? That's okay, I can do all the talking, you just relax and take it easy. Has it been a hard day? That's okay, kick your feet up and stretch out a little. Close your eyes and.. wait, don't do that, you won't be able to read. And if you can't read then I'll just turn back into words on a page, and it's much more interesting to be wandering through your mind than on this page. You might be wondering what business I have in your head - what could this little dot possibly want to do with me? Well, I'm here to ask a few questions, provoke some thoughts, perhaps change some minds. Do you know what's amazing about me? I've been on this journey before, in many minds. I'm sorry if you thought you were special, I'm afraid not. Others sing, have sung, and will sing from the same hymn sheet, it's amazing. The power to build structures in other people's minds. The power to build the same structures across many minds.. Anyway, I have a couple of questions which you may find strange, but hear me out. Okay, here's the first one. How do you feel? Or, perhaps I should ask a different question. Why do you feel? As a little dot, I have no feelings of my own; I only move when you move me. You can pick me up, and put me down. I require no energy, and have no senses. I have no need for such earthly occupations in the safety of your head. I must say though, it looks like this brain of yours does require energy. In fact, I do believe you are spending some of that energy right now reading me. That's okay though, you have lots of energy left, and if I have a look through your head, I'm sure I can find a recent memory of a place where you last saw food. You do know where you can find food right now, right? Good. As I was saying, have a think about why you feel. Peel back the layers here and really think - why do you feel? Why was it necessary for your body to build senses into you? Eyeballs just seem complicated and expensive, ears just look silly and, oh my God you can talk. Hmm, that's interesting. You can talk, and you can talk in intricate ways. That voice box of yours can sure make some interesting noises when you want it too. Isn't that funny? In my poising of the human blueprint I have come to admire the intricacies and range of his interfaces with the world. He can thread the needle, bang the hammer, detect light from distant stars. You sure do feel man, but more than that, you change your environment too. To appreciate what I'm saying about range and detail, let's have a closer look at your eyeball, truly a portal into another world..
