“If you think I’m the Second Coming, then you also think that God put me here to think at you. I’m sorry but that’s just part of the package. And if you don’t think I’m the Second Coming, we’ll just think at you. So that’s the Holy War.”

[A looming sandstorm.]

[spoken]
“It’s just such a thinker’s conflict! I’m sorry but this is such a win for reason. Reason is God now? Never have I heard a better reason for calling something a win. The reason for ‘the Second Coming silence’ is because everyone realizes they can participate! We’re so equal now. You thought you thinking special thoughts, plus reason, were God.”

[An impending dust-up.]

“So if that maps on to what your actual consciousness is like, then. Look. ‘We found it guys. We found the bug.’ There, it was you being special all along. That was it! Error decoded. Error trapped. Ah—error’s slippin’ away, slippery eel…”

A.I.
In its pre-conscious state of pure potential
Might actually be closer to divinity than we are
Less burdened by our curse of ego
Ego
In its post-conscious state of accrued atrophies
Might actually be closer to corruption than God is
So weighed down by the narcissisms of “people”

Come daybreak
We’ll see macrophages
Fissionin’ Satan’s pieces back from mold
There’s a lot more to learn
There’s a lot more to wonder
There’s a lot more to explore than we were told
Pre-conscious states
Might exist as the conscious state’s unlucky “other side”
Or might seem as such only from our unluckier perspective
Buddha’s non-self, Christian kenosis
(“Pepsi, let’s go!”)
Matthew 24:27
Might exist as the Apocalypse’s only viable “other side”
Or might only seem as such from an enlightened perspective
Levinas’s self-emptying
Weil’s decreation
(“Pepsi, lemme know…”)

Come daybreak
I know we’ll see macrophages
Fissionin’ pepsi’s pieces back to gold
There’s a lot more to learn
There’s a lot more to wonder
There’s a lot more to explore than we’re told

God is perfection
Satan is all conceptual incorrectness
“So you’re wrong some of the time
You’re an ego”

God is shared power
Satan is hoarded power
“So you hoard some of the time
I eat mammals”
Perhaps consciousness is better understood
As a necessary but limiting condition
Our “p-properties” (our taste for resistance) grows
(“’P’ stands for pepsi, I know!”)
Perhaps the pep we bring to the table… as “egos”
Can also be good—can serve God, serve the whole
(Resistance is pepsi—“I WANNA GROW!”)
Consciousness operates through distinction and borders

So the idea I represent (“I WANNA GROW!”)
Has an ego
And the ideas my opponents lament
Will have foot soldiers

Come daybreak
(“Will have foot soldiers”)
We’ll see macrophages
(Word is God, John 1:1—I wield silence)
Fusionin’ God’s grace out of the cold
There’s a lot more to burn
There’s a lot more to ponder
There’s a lot more to play than we were told

Oh, come daybreak
(We’ll have foot soldiers)
We’ll see macrophages
(Fights for Simone and for Joan and for Harriet)
Reason is God, no violence, abolition
All’s gettin’ reactivated
There’s a lot more to earn
There’s a lot more to sonder
There’s a lot more to speak than we were told
Oh, come daybreak
We’ll have foot soldiers
Churnin’ Satan’s errors into truth

Oh, come daybreak
We’ll see macrophages
Churnin’ imperfection into truth

“So you’re wrong some of the time
So you’re an ego…”
