Consciousness Reduced

or The Physical Reality behind the Metaphysical Rot "A rabbit poofs out of a magician's sleeve, not out of a magic hat." -- a brain well-informed sans a consciousness magical * * * But tiny quantum force bits pushing quantum matter bits arranging countless neural combinations in the brain engender consciousness until the lobes all call it quits and die, too often slowly, in a pattern known as "pain" -- the "I" of consciousness a quantum sequence and a trick, a mere illusion (such as changing water into wine) full gagged and bound before a kind of photoplay or flick, observing on the screen an actor act or speak a line -- though not in Spanish if the "I" no Latin lover knows, the bits not able to effect the needed neural shapes, while should the bits know not whose name is likened to a rose, they need to straight exchange their neural network for an ape's -- plus if some "I" pens verses true on consciousness with wit, each "I" a true romantic need cease talking mystic sh*t. * * * A Dedication of Respect for the Neural Pain of Mastering the Physics of Neurobiology -- As Well As the Neural Process Painless of Poeticizing the Proficiency A Menippean Satire on the Physics of Consciousness Yet Commonly Romanticized
