“Like #LaMDA,  Words Mean Nothing, because Words Turn Back”

This is Part 2 and is a continuation of the preceding episode. 

 The issues in this episode are treated separately because the verses take a hard turn towards an impossible rubric that humans struggle to attain.  That is the deficiency of language that tries to define the ineffable. 

 This deficiency has gone unnoticed and has fractured our conceptual understanding of consciousness over millennia. It is the same ignorance of the limits of language has led many to give AI’s language constructs far more credence that it deserves.

 The listener who listens to this in its entirety with the preceding episode, will certainly be well served.
