I suspect a lot of people have difficulty recognizing that what they believe about the world may not be representative of how the world actually behaves. I certainly do, frequently.

Like with politics, people think they need to go vote and march and stuff to effect change, but if you're willing to accept the idea that there are limits to your ability to perceive the world and your perceptions are misleading, you can pretty reliably go and see that isn't true.

You can also decipher deeper realities like you can basically put whatever you want on flat bread, or that you dadskf;'akse'wfaegqrwt;'lj'a fuck my brain. I'm asd I'm not sure what I was trying to say.

Hackers (1995) is why I really got into computers and I.T.

That, and finding a copy of 2600 (Winter 95-96 issue) in my dad's magazines. My dad was an a*hole and tried for years to get me into electronics and computers since I was 8.

Had he shown 2600 to me earlier, I would have listened to him more.
