#2A touching story, props to the author for his measured response -- the experience has to be difficult not to internalise or freak out from.
I wonder if the DID experience is the same as "ego death" as described after ingesting large amounts of psychedelics?

For whatever reason, most of the programmers I know are intrigued in some way by brains; maybe it's something to do with being able to handle abstraction, or seeing consciousness as just another process or program, or something like that. Throw in how we're all used to debugging systems by observing the way break down produce emergent behavior, and something like this story becomes a fascinating tidbit about and potential insight into the functionality of the human mind.
