Nie wiem, nie gadam z programistami. Ja cały czas jakieś robię, bo dla
mnie to zawsze było hobby, pasja. Nigdy się nie nudzę.

Inni traktują to po prostu jak zawód, zajęcie.

Na czym opierasz swoje podejrzenie?

Ci, których znałem, awansowali na stanowiska kierownicze i już nie
programują, tylko zarządzają ludźmi i projektami.

Mam 38 lat i nie mam zamiaru rezygnować z programowania (nie lubię
zarządzać, lubię programować). Przypomnij mi się za dwa lata, jak nie
odpowiem to szukaj w dole z wapnem.

Na koniec wkleję fragment książki "Schizophrenia: A Very Short
Introduction", który może rzucać światło na źródło podejrzeń dotyczących
tajnej policji i sekretnego unicestwiania programistów po 40-ce.

The patient is aware of the identity of the person in front of him, but,
through the lack of an emotional response, feels that there is something
fundamentally wrong. This person looks like my wife, but cannot really be
her. But is this abnormal experience really sufficient to justify the
extremely unlikely conclusion that the wife has been replaced by a double?
There is some evidence from patients with brain lesions that such
delusions only occur after a combination of impairments. First, there must
be damage to visual systems concerned with face recognition, so that the
patient is not quite so good at recognizing faces as before. Second, there
must be damage to the right frontal cortex, an area that seems to be
involved in preventing us from adopting extremely unlikely hypotheses.

This idea that abnormal experiences are sufficient to cause delusions can
be tested by presenting normal people with abnormal experiences. We
attempted to do this by distorting the sound of peoples voices. The
volunteers were rigged up with a throat microphone and earphones. The
speech recorded by the microphone was played into special-effects
equipment where it could be distorted before being played back into the
earphones. All this happened without any detectable delay, so that the
volunteer heard their own voice at a different pitch. So, for example, a
male speaker might hear his voice at a higher pitch, like the voice of a
woman. We did this with patients during an acute episode of schizophrenia,
asking them to speak while we altered the pitch of the voice in various
ways. The comments they made were rather surprising.

A female voice doesnt sound like me. It only speaks when I speak. Sounds
like the sounds a deaf person might make.

The voice has changed to a masculine voice. Same as a deaf masculine
voice. I think its an evil spirit speaking when I speak.

Patients who were suffering from delusions at the time of the experiment
were very likely to attribute the voice they heard to another person, but
only when the voice was distorted. On the other hand, our healthy
volunteers and patients not reporting delusions would correctly attribute
the voice to themselves. Its my voice I can hear, but youve done something
to it with that box.

This study shows that weird experiences are not enough. Only the patients
who were concurrently experiencing delusions thought the voice they heard
belonged to someone else.

Many of the delusions reported by patients with schizophrenia seem to
result from a combination of an abnormal experience with a willingness to
develop extremely unlikely explanations for that experience.
