Well, either it's that, or an incapacity for social skills, which would be much more severe than what we've seen so far, but I suppose it could be plausible.

--- Quote from: Loki on 13 Dec 2013, 05:30 ---For example, I am not consciously going through life with an always running subroutine that tells me who I am.
--- End quote ---
Yes, you are, unless you have one of the rare disorders that cause people to lack a sense of self. Do you ever actually think that you inhabit multiple disconnected bodies simultaneously? If not, then that subroutine exists and is constantly active. The problem ZoeB refers to would be better stated as having an attachment to that process that reaffirms a stereotype (in the pen-initial sense of the word). Getting rid of the whole process would solve that problem, but also introduce the far worse one that I just described.
SageJiraiya:
I don't know where this discussion is going, but I am beginning to think it may be better suited somewhere other than in a WCD thread.
Always remember:
Loki:
Explicitely with my user hat: I think you may be right. I think I will cease the discussion for now.
NilsO:
Just a comic, yes, but trying to describe real issues and problems. I guess this is why I like QC so much.
