Today's reflection

Every now and then I'm reminded that I think about the world in so many ways that are very different from how everyone else looks at the world. I try not to dwell too much on these matters because, in all honesty, doing so makes me feel alienated from my fellow human beings. One of the biggest fundamental differences in outlook is that I have almost no respect for tradition or authority as such. I process and filter pretty much everything presented from these sources, and never base my respect or compliance, if they are indeed given, on the status of the source alone. Of course, I'm simplifying and distilling this notion down to its "ideal typical" essence, as I see it.

I would write more but for the fact that my computer crashed yesterday and I'm having to write this on my mobile device. I'm hoping Fujitsu will manage to correct the disabling hardware problem in less than the two months it took them to replace my malfunctioning LCD screen. Actually, I'm secretly hoping that this issue will be so grave that they will need to replace my laptop. But I'm not holding out too much hope for that.

It's all extra annoying for me because another one of my defining characteristics is wanting my tools to always work correctly as specified.
