Sometimes... Ok, quite a bit, I find myself lost in thought, outside of space and time.

This condition is normal to a degree, but software allows me to create alternate realities that will exist, so I find myself dreaming while I'm still awake.

In my own defense, isn't our consciousness just running on a wet computer? So if I'm obsessed with software, it's logical. My mind simply wants to understand how it perceives reality... So that I can re-implement it.

The alternative is to hunt for food and mates, killing enemies. OK, sometimes that's fun, but it's not very original.
