yeah...
Being a systems analyst, if this guy was insane, he'd call the customer and say "Your databse back-end is too sweet," or "There's rancid beefsteak in your router."
heh
The fact that he is not insane means he knows other people don't work the same way.
There's a hidden assumption that we make here. We make it many times. We assume the color red, for example, is the same for all people. Things like that aren't the way color perception works. Color perception is one thing that is not defined objectively by wavelengths of light, it is defined subjectively, by an individual's experience of color.
The assumptions we make about "normalcy" are filled with assumptions like this.
This is part of why it is so difficult communicating simple things.
People experience things differently.
The question "What if we were all this way?" may be answered by the statement, "We are already all this way."
We experience our associations - we don't experience definitions.
What this guy experiences is only different from what we experience by a matter of degree.
