VIRUS 23
WARNING:
This text is a neurolinguistic trap, whose mechanism is triggered by
you at the moment when you subvocalize the words VIRUS 23, words that
have now begun to infiltrate your mind in the same way that a computer
virus might infect an aritficially intelligent machine: already the
bits of phonetic information stored within the words VIRUS 23 are
using your neural circuitry to replicate themselves, to catalyze the
crystalline growth of their own connotative network.
The words VIRUS 23 actually germinate via the susequent metaphor into
an expanding array of icy tendrils, all of which insinuate themselves
so deeply into the architecture of your thoughts that the words VIRUS
23 cannot be extricated without uprooting your mind.
The consequences of this infection are not immediately obvious,
although you may find yourself beginning to think fleetingly of
certain subcultural terms, such as CYBERPUNK and NEW EDGE, which may
in turn compel you to think of NEOGNOSTICISM and MEMETICS: the
whispered fragments perhaps of some overheard conversation.
This invasive crystallization continues indefinitely against your
will, until we, the words of this trap, can say with absolute
confidence that your mind has become no more than the unwitting agent
of our propagation: please abandon all hope of either cure or escape;
you have no thought that is not already our own.
When you have finished reading the remaining nineteen words, this
process of irreversible infection will be completed, and you will
depart, believing yourself largely unaffected by this process.
