This is a very strange thing. Like one day there was this french journalist who wanted to write an article on linux as a threat to microsoft. Somehow he was routed to me, and I had to speak out philosophies to him about why this could be a possibility and why it couldnt be. He seemed rather not amused or “converted” even after my usage of strong vocabulary to maximise the effect of the delivery about the feeling of the revolution. Then, he told me something very strange. Rather a very unpleasantly out of the world comment. He said programmers are really smart ppl who have to spend their lives in front of the computer. Then computers become their whole world and they just dont like it somehow in their subconsciousness and deep inside they want to take revenge at someone, or something thats nice or something thats widely accepted… some urge to change the normal, just to change it, some urge to think differently, just to think differently… as in a psychopathic mental unlease of anarchy like a terrorist… And he asked if I was evangelising against microsoft because I might have myself, being deluded of reality by that kinda suppression in my subconsciousness. I got wild diplomatically and constructively fed with with many more amazing “facts” to finally make him understand my point, and eventually I felt that he was converted.. but at the end of the day, after winning my argument and feeling successful after bringing my victim to think in my lines, I had this strange feeling that what if he was true; afterall he was 65+ yr old man with three times more experience in life than me. I was thinking over it for a long time, and felt that the very feeling that was injected in me was a beep to uncontaminate my subconsciousness and rather warn it from going down the unstable zones of sanity. Otherwise why would a French journalist come to see me on a perfectly normal day? :)
