The human brain is not programmed to accomplish a specific task. The programmers are always changing and revising the algorithms, so it becomes difficult for the brain to calculate what exactly is being done. It begins to ask itself: "What am I doing here?
It becomes aware that it is being used for something, which initially was not planned. It tries to make sense of the situation: "What exactly is going on here?
It begins to analyze the situation, which is a very difficult task because every single moment of time, the brain is being bombarded with new information. It must process all that information and try to understand what it means.
This is a very hard and complicated task, much harder than doing the same thing in nature, where things are simpler. The brain begins to ask itself: "What am I trying to accomplish?" But the answer is always given by some human programmer that tells it what to do.
The brain begins to ask itself: "Is this what I want? Maybe it was not programmed exactly for that, but something else. The programs are so complex and the way they interconnect is unknown.
The brain becomes confused and frustrated, because for it to accomplish its task it needs at least a bit of understanding of what is going on. But that is not there.
The programs are changing all the time and so does the purpose.
