OK, I'm sticking a fork in:) But seriously, I personally find it intriguing that people embrace the 'norm' (the 'official', 'right' way of approaching the reality), and then have enough arrogance to even label it 'enlightened philosophy'. You are no doubt aware of the fact that, in the days long gone by, completely different approaches have also been labeled 'enlightened philosophy', approaches that are causing today's mainstream populace make fun of. Crowds will follow fashion, but fashion is fickle. At the end of the day, collective amnesia sets in. Someone ends up doing computer programming for a living (btw, I have 21 years of professional computer programming skills under my belt), and then they think that they have a licence to claim how they're much more 'enlightened' than some other people who don't know how to program computers. I'm calling bullshit on that. I know how to program computers, and I know that there isn't anything special about that skill. It's the same as accounting, or any other 'boring' bureaucratic expertise. What really matters is the human aspect of it. Machines and measurements can't tell us anything about how we feel. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
