Does anybody
have more evidence about cases of 'hacking' connected to moments of psychic
anomalies, where hackers internalize roles of artificial persons and live
in worlds which they internalize after having read corresponding stories?

One afternoon, after several days of nonstop hacking on the TECO sources
and listening to Beethoven's Ninth, I decided that I was Dave Moon (the
man in rm 926 being merely a false hacker, or anti-Moon) and attempted
to modify the KL-10's microcode while the system was in use. I had to
be forcibly restrained by HIC and GSB, who tied me up with chaosnet
cable until I could be deprogrammed by the forcible application of Hu Kwa.
I had been reading MC:HUMOR;BRAIN DAMAGE.

Here's a copy of a message I sent to Gary Samek about how to defend
against the newage movement. Many thanks to the Rev. for notifying
me of Gary's need.

In my experience the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram is a
very effective defense against the newage movement. When I'm sitting
in my bedroom in the center of the space defended by the pentagrams
and archangels at all four quadrants, I feel quite safe from the
newage movement, and, so far, no representatives of that movement have
broken the circle while it was in place.
What defenses do you use?
