Well, I empathize with Sander's dilemma: I have this infinite loop running that creates my personality and forces me to act as if that were "myself," using up almost all my resources, and often leaving me feeling pathetic. Clearly, it is either using a flawed algorithm, or was somehow improperly installed to begin with; or, somehow, the other mental components installed have corrupted it in subtle ways so its manifestations cannot be rigorously debugged.

However, this loop that creates the illusion of "I am that I am" has the effect of making it impossible to disconnect from the internet, suggesting it may be a different strain of infinite loop than Sander's.

The thought of Sander without internet is disturbing: he might do something really crazy, like write another article for CP, get some work done, or, have a relationship.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
