Consciousness is an illusion constructed by the memes.
I was always making memes, and now I have music.
'Temes' [technology-enhanced memes] don't care about us - they simply want to create more of themselves. Don't think we created the internet for our own benefit - think about temes spreading for themselves because they must.
