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
