Part of your response rang out to me, when you were talking about personality "disorders" and the like. -Odd for an advocate of technology, but I really hate the tendency for our culture to mark certain things that I would consider personality traits as "disorders." In many instances it is these disorders that create some of history's most cherished (and sometimes infamous) figures: Van Gogh being only one of many.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
