Strong emergence?

Imagine stuffing dildos, donuts, and tax forms in a blender.
Hit puree - and instead of slurry, out crawls a sleazy lounge singer with eight nipples, crooning Sinatra while rewriting physics.

The bits can't explain it, but the whole won't stop grinding.

#StrongEmergence

Strong emergence is like an orgy where the sweat and moans coagulate into a new creature - one that grabs the whip and starts giving orders.

The parts never consented, but the whole came anyway.

That’s not reduction; that's the birth of a filthy god.
