let us start
with the easy stuff

the question you ask each turtle
on your way down

why?

we are a program

a calculating set of swirling vortices
but this is beside the point

we can spend a lifetime not realizing
that a/the simple goal
of conscious awareness is
to add experiences
to the patterns of a self
wondering why

how to do this?
many ways

have a kid
have a conversation

procreation is relatively straight-forward
however outcomes can be suboptimal
many competing simple routines
vie for space in a youthful mind

conversations are trickier
because of the firewalls
protection from overflow attacks
filter incoming ideas
