Whenever he got in a fury a
Schizophrenic from Upper Manchuria,
Had pseudocyesis,

But these potions and medicines of ours
Coffee, garlic, and spices,
Evolved as devices
So that insects would stop bugging flowers.

Whose bethrothed had a good cause to murmur.
But now that he's married, he's

And the root of his love is much firmer.

Useless hypotheses, etc.:
 consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism, GAC, Cyc, Eliza, cryonics, individual
uniqueness, ego, human values, scientific relinquishment, malevolent AI,

We  move into a better future in proportion as science displaces superstition.
