Andrey Shvets. The brotherhood of the white mouse (№ 213667)

- Usually this means death, but not in these cases. We can say that this world was struck by a schizophrenic epidemic - continued to meet Peter, while Henry was immersed in his own thoughts.
- In what sense?
In your world, the brain controls the body, but it is only a disguise. He almost controls the body, but without consciousness cannot do. If the consciousness leaves the body, the person either dies or behaves like a dumb computer, is really controlled by the brain. In schizophrenia awareness begins to separate from the body. More clearly separated two faces, which in ordinary man are soldered together: the angel and a computer. And when it leaves, the person finally becomes an organic machine or dies. That is, in any case, it is inanimate, and his soul is freed, more or less.
Mark had previously pondered whether the complex machine is considered self-aware, but never came to any conclusion. But it didn't occur to you that the fact that the unsolvability of this question may be regarded as a necessary element of a certain General scheme. And he promised himself to think about the concept of camouflage.
Then a pink cloud over the politician shuddered, separated and slowly start to climb. The politician was silent, but after a moment continued:
- We choose prosperity, and in the evening will be fireworks.
