Points awarded by France
gollark: Stuff is seemingly not magically self-computing. At least, I haven't seen algorithms somehow run themselves.
gollark: That is a good question. "I think therefore I am" and all, but that really only implies that in some form "I" am running on some kind of processing hardware which can do consciousness, whether it is my foolish mortal brain in a universe with quarks and everything or a simulation of that on, I don't know, some kind of massive cellular automaton.

gollark: The simplest and most sensible explanation is the non-jar thing.
