Tezcat sez:

Think of your brain as a computer program, designed to function in a certain way. Unfortunately, people are going to keep trying to hack your brain, so you've got to keep developing patches to keep the operating system running smoothly. That, or you can just let the virus take control. Have you ever used an infected computer? Your brain is infected with a virus, and there *is* anti-virus software available to remedy the situation, but, y'know, you just have to run the software. Trendmicro isn't going to come to your house and fix your computer for you...
