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
