I want to tell everyone on this list about something I found.
Maybe someone out there hears what I say, thinks I am pretty
crazy for saying it to an entire mailing list, but appreciates it.
That is the kind of person I am sometimes. I might tell a CEO
not to use high-class mustard on a hotdog and genuinely wonder afterwards
why he gets angry. So, similarly, I am going to tell all of you to
go to FalunDafa.org because this is the best thing I have done
to extricate myself cognitively from computer prison that we
all live in.
It is true that computers are impressive, but they are also injurious
in other respects and if people won't acknowledge the downsides
to what they do to our cognition, I don't think that is ok, either. I am
actually a generalist on this subject, so I don't take technical stances
on this minor subject or that minor subject inside the vast field of
computer science. But what holds true for me also holds true for you,
that computers draw you in to a certain, narrow type of thinking that
needs to be balanced by true, traditional, human things like music or dance or
art.
