How did you get here? What does it matter? You are here now.
You have two eyes. They scan these letters and convert them into electrical nerve impulses that quickly find their way into your brain and explode there like a failed and petty New Year's cracker.
Maybe you don't have a brain. Perhaps it is a brain that has you. What difference does it make to you in your life? What do you think?
Anyway, you also have a nose, a mouth, ears, and feet. You have a heart that pumps blood and an abdominal cavity that is filled with disgusting entrails. Now you have come here, for some reason, and started reading this.
It is all very strange, but you don't find it strange. You are so used to reading. But think about it, your brain mysteriously converts these letters into an inner voice that you can clearly hear inside your skull. Isn't this amazing? Is it really me speaking in your brain? If you listen very carefully, you can hear that this voice has a dialect and a tone that you recognize. This is your voice, yes, but it has now been temporarily taken over by me.
