I you apply that to technology and some self-knowledge, it seems to click perfectly with us and Unix and Emacs. Only thing is, other people will end up with different technology. Here, there is a notion that some technology is better than the other. But then why do people use the inferior technology? Because they are not as good to begin with? Why not? Here is where the theory gets shady. But morals aside, it is a perfect match. At least for me. But are other people who has experienced the same perfect match the same as me? How so? And if you do technology too much, are you technology as well as human? If yes, how much do you have to do it? If you reproduce yourself every day, and a good portion of that day is technology, and this goes on every day, where does the line go where you produce technology and it doesn't produce you? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
