A silly analogy: Human nature and programs are the same

1 points by skowmunk ↗ HN
Beliefs in human nature are like complex nested loops with a bunch of conditional statemetns thrown in.

For quite some time, I have had this belief that people run on beliefs, whether they are conscious of their own beliefs or not.

Now as I am getting more and more into prgramming, this is an anology that stuck me:

Beliefs are like a complex bunch of nested loops with a bunch of conditons thrown in. On the surface, individual actions of a person may appear as if they are independent from other actions of the same person, but they are just the result of the underlying belief systems, its similar to intsances of code execution that may appear to be unrelated to somebody who can't see the underlying network of conditions and loops.
