John Bennet - "Much Ado About Nothing"

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child. The obsession with uniqueness is the one relentless constant in human evolution. We set ourselves apart and then corrode with loneliness. We invent a machine to spank our champion chessplayer and then fret ourselves into a frenzy. Waht does it mean to be human, we cry out, and being humna, we're left without an answer.
   Pure laughter is the highest form of intelligence. A computer will never laugh. Program one to do it and see how it makes you feel when the thing starts making its noise. Technology is how we mock ourselves.
   Wanting to know yourself is the worst form of schizophrenia. You can't know what you are. You can only be what you are. Wishing to be God, we become nothing It is, after all, as plain as the nose on your face.
