Male Voice: ...but why? Why now?
Boy's Voice: Everything has a reason.
Male Voice: Oh yeah? And what might that reason be?
Boy's Voice: The reason for everything is everything. The ultimate lie is the value system -- the notion that something is more important than something else.
Male Voice: Doesn't that make you a liar as well?
Boy's Voice: Of course. I am talking to you, am I not?

Payload Excerpt:

The semantics of desire is simple, really.

1. Technology fulfills desire.
2. Marketing creates desire.
3. Meditation eliminates desire.

Each of these three complexes represents a desire as well, and, as such, possesses a technology to fulfill that desire.

3. The technology of meditation is the technology of elimination of desire.
2. The technology of marketing is the technology of creation of desire.
1. The technology of technology is the technology of fulfillment of desire.

These basic desires can not evolve, only the technology evolves.

You may ask: "Why is it that we, humans, live during times that are dominated by marketing? Are there not basic human desires that marketing did not need to create?" There are such physical-level desires, such as desires for food and shelter. However, the technology has risen to the level where these desires are for a large part successfully fulfilled. It was here that we found out that the human ego is built not only out of desires, but more specifically out of unfulfilled desires. To offset the void in the ego created by desire fulfillment, marketing has arisen, with its technology of creation of new desires.

If any document can be considered to be the source code of Machine Buddhism, it is the mahasatipatthanasuttaver2.0. The mahasatipatthanasuttaver2.0 was disseminated in an ultra-efficient (however unorthodox) manner on December 21, 2012 via the anonymous (meaning that the persons responsible were never found) u1e1 virus. The u1e1 virus was the first to have been written in the Reflex Programming Language, rendering the anti-virus systems of the time helpless for the duration of the two days (December 21-23, 2012) that it needed to spread net-wide. The sole payload of the virus was to display the mahasatipatthanasuttaver2.0.

The mahasatipatthanasuttaver2.0 (which can not be reproduced here for obvious reasons) appears to be a translation of the Maha Satipatthana Sutta (a 2500-year old Buddhist sutra) into the language of contemporary technical manuals. The Maha Satipatthana Sutta concerns itself with the technical aspects of meditation. The apocryphal introduction to the mahasatipatthanasuttaver2.0 explains that Machine Buddhism represents the "long-awaited synthesis of buddhist and modern technologies". While modern technology is exposed as the means to accomplish the goals posited through the desires of humanity, the buddhist meditation technology is seen as an extension of modern technology which permits the analysis and manipulation of those desires. The technical language of the mahasatipatthanasuttaver2.0 makes it evident that the natures of the two technologies are the same; they simply function on different phenomenological substrates.

The apocryphal introduction to the mahasatipatthanasuttaver2.0 concludes with a short technical exposition of the evolution of the ego. The ego is described as the emergency subsystem of the human psyche which, due to "a paranoidal positive feedback loop spanning several phenomenological substrates", has, to a large extent, taken over the resources of the human mind.

The references to the "phenomenological substrates" tie the mahasatipatthanasuttaver2.0 to the The Anatomy, Life Cycle and Effects of the Phenomenologically Distributed Human Parasite M0, a text published by the Reciprocality Group 14 years prior. The spokesman for the group, Alan G Carter, has on multiple occasions denied any connection of the group to the mahasatipatthanasuttaver2.0 and the u1e1 virus.

17. It must be confessed, however, that perception, and that which depends upon it, are inexplicable by mechanical causes, that is to say, by figures and motions. Supposing that there were a machine whose structure produced thought, sensation, and perception, we could conceive of it as increased in size with the same proportions until one was able to enter into its interior, as he would into a mill. Now, on going into it he would find only pieces working upon one another, but never would he find anything to explain perception. It is accordingly in the simple substance, and not in the compound nor in a machine that the perception is to be sought. Furthermore, there is nothing besides perceptions and their changes to be found in the simple substance. And it is in these alone that all the internal activities of the simple substance can consist.

64. Therefore every organic body of a living being is a kind of divine machine or natural automaton, infinitely surpassing all artificial automatons. Because a machine constructed by man's skill is not a machine in each of its parts; for instance, the teeth of a brass wheel have parts or bits which to us are not artificial products and contain nothing in themselves to show the use to which the wheel was destined in the machine. The machines of nature, however, that is to say, living bodies, are still machines in their smallest parts ad infinitum. Such is the difference between nature and art, that is to say, between divine art and ours.
