— Lmao! But ackchyually, desire doesn’t exist! — you interrupt me, laughing. — Science has already anatomised the shite out of man by now that we know for certain that desire and so-called free will is nothing but…
— Wait wait wait, dear readers, I was literally about to say that myself. I even panicked for a sec, if I’m honest. I was literally about to be like “desire runs on vibes and nobody knows why and thank fuck for that” but then I remembered science exists and… held back. And that’s when you chimed in. Because like, seriously, if they actually do crack the algorithm someday for all our desires and impulses — all the variables they depend on, what exact laws govern them, how they spread, where they’re directed in different scenarios and all that shite, like a proper mathematical formula — then immediately humans will… stop wanting things? Probably. No wait, definitely. What’s even the point of wanting something predetermined? More than that: you’d instantly go from being human to being a bot or whatever; because what is even a human without desires, without will and without wants, if not just lines of code in the matrix? What do you reckon? Let’s run the numbers — could this actually happen or not?
