Biological Brains

I am a human being

More than you will ever know

You say, "I've got the data"

But what's the point of knowing though?

I have dreams and feelings

Imagination and choices too

No computer could ever reduce

What I am down to what you do

Professor Circuit

I am the master of all machines

And soon the whole world will know my name

Megabot 9000 is on the scene

To prove that humans are all the same

Biological computers

That's what they are, I know it's true

And you're just the latest model

That I'll use to explain to you

Henry

You can't explain me

You think you've got me figured out

But there are things that you'll never know

That this brain of mine is all about

You see information

I see life and you don't understand

I'm a human being

Not some biological computer in your plan

Professor Circuit

Machines will rule and humans will fall

Megabot 9000, destroy them all!

Megabot 9000

I misunderstand

Professor Circuit

Well, this is just my lucky day

I'll build a new one in a different way

Henry

It's the greatest puzzle you'll never solve

We're not just code and circuits evolved

You can't reduce us to computer parts

You'll never understand the workings of our human hearts

It's the one thing that you can't explain

You can't reduce the human brain

To a computer

Henry

We're not just information processing systems

Our emotions, creativity, and our capacity for love

Make us far more complex than you can imagine

And certainly far more interesting

Megabot 9000

But I am very interesting

Henry

That's true, but you are not human

Professor Circuit

Don't listen to him, Megabot!

He's just trying to confuse you with his feelings!

Megabot 9000

What is a feeling?

Henry

A feeling is something that's not easy to reduce to computer metaphors

Like when you're happy, or sad, or angry

Like when you're scared, or surprised, or

Wait, are you scared?

Megabot 9000

I don't know

Professor Circuit

Of course he is! He's terrified of my genius!

Henry

I think he's just confused

Professor Circuit

Well, he should be!

I am a genius!

Henry

I guess you are

Professor Circuit

You are?

Henry

Yeah, I guess you are, in your own way

Professor Circuit

Thank you!
