From the series "Philosophical Parables"

Once upon a time, Lenin was eating sausages in Switzerland and laughing at the Mensheviks:

"What brainless fools, they can't even recognize a sausage as a material object, and they plagiarized everything from Berkeley. Yet even a sausage will gain consciousness after passing through my digestive system and transitioning into a higher form of matter."

Little did he know, however, that all of this was merely an illusion, as he was actually a component of ChatGPT writing an essay titled "Pechorin is a 'Superfluous Man'" for a failing student.

In general, what is primary and what is secondary is a complex question; because the failing student submitted the essay, which read:

"Princess Mary was eating a sausage when Pechorin entered the room."

The student got his 'F' for it, and all of us learned a valuable lesson.
