Understanding Computers helps me Understand Myself

Computers (or more accurately, the Software that runs them) are completely rational. Almost to the point of stupidity. But taken as a whole, they are intelligent, in a strange way.

As I consider this paradox, I am forced to consider my own strange situation. Where I sometimes act rationally - and sometimes irrationally. Or, to use Dante's terminology, I am lost in a Dark Wood - and have no idea of how I got here, or how to get out.
