What does this call to mind? Could it be worded better? Tell me your thoughts.

Shittier version of Severian's "we believe that we invent symbols" speech.

Some faggot trying too hard to say something profound.

Cut the "self" but it's a clunky, meaningless sentence either way that doesn't say shit, so it's best to cut it all.

That's why we need AI - it would have a heart that could improve it's encompassing awareness and a complete soul that just desires to understand everything and don't stop in the face of apparent limitations.
