We are walking systems which carry around hardware and software.
We get default programming from our genes and environment.
It’s left mostly to us as individuals to indentify if there’s something wrong.
We can learn and tinker under the hood.
We carry around so much.
It’s important to figure out our own way of carrying it all around.
No one can help us, unless we ask.
Sometimes that’s the hardest thing in the world.
