Viruses of the mind

The Denet boys and their robot toys Come across like the bullied class swot Smelling of soured milk of human kindness Now exacting their revenge By dispelling that which cannot be removed There is no essence they say There is only coding There is only processing of symbolic data Everything else is a delusion Dawkins is almost right about memes About how they have reconstructed the mind to be more comfy In preparation for their imminent arrival But he has lost sight of his own locked in syndrome The poisoned chalice if you like The question: Do you want to be vastly more intelligent? Able to process symbolic data like you wouldn’t believe? You do? Well great let’s get started Just give me all that other stuff  All that unnecessary baggage and go ahead Leave all that stuff right here at the portal to the brain Step right up Brain world we’ll call it Your intuitive sense that you feel meaning in the cosmos Just dump that here and go ahead
