So, Programming, Creative Writing, Mind Techniques… and now Spirituality? Does it fit together? Can someone spending the days programming computers really believe in something beyond the mere physical and pragmatical?
In fact, seeing how dumb computers are, and how brilliant (sometimes) humans are (well at least in the “potential” aspect… but then again… perfect is boring and not much of a life journey, is it?) I fear the more time I spend around computers, the more I become spiritual.
Besides, I spent years, decades even, doing performing arts, both studies and some performances (mostly happy amateur stuff) long before I started doing the coding, so…
And besides, who ever decided you can only be one thing? A revolt against that notion will follow (if I do not decide to revolt against the revolution, that is…)
And then there’s the notion that programmers are artists, and I don’t think I know one programmer that doesn’t believe (somewhere deep down) that we need to be true magicians as well in order to make the digital stars align…
