general wankery and navelgazing 

It's difficult to talk about things like this, because like it or not I'm formulating, engaging with, and articulating these ideas from the standpoint of human desires and models of the world.
As a human being, a very specific one with a very specific subset of The Human Experience™, I'm not sure I can step outside of that.
I don't really have the correct background to be going down this road, but it's interesting to think about.
