All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

Indians have it easy, they can do the same thing by eating hot pockets.

I can see how eating bugs would challenge previous cultural programming... however I do not understand what sort of software you would be aiming to replace it with.

I am going for abstract interfacing on myself personally.

Well, the same thing could be said of traveling, listening to different types of music, reading other religions, etc. Just to challenge the fixed habits and preconceptions.

However I suspect "distaste" for insects is especially deeply rooted in most americans and europeans.


"Abstract interfacing"?

"Abstract interfacing" is usually a term used in computer programming. It means creating an input/output surface for an encapsulated module which is endlessly extendable.

The idea is that if you have an abstract interface, it does not matter what it is that wants to interface with you- it can.

(That is a bit of a simplification, but it would be hard to get too literal about it without becoming somewhat esoteric)

Then you would just be re-programming your current cultural programming with a different set of cultural programs....
It might seem a challenge at first, but I am guessing one could easily adapt....    :ohwell:

Right, it's nothing earth shaking, but hey, sort of a good exercise in open mindedness I think.

Have you read The Synthetic Man by Theodore Sturgeon?

Good sci-fi book relating to violations of cultural programming by eating ants.

Nice, man.  Classic sci-fi is good stuff... I really liked Stranger in a Strange Land.  Another good, yet under-appreciated writer I'd recommend would be Robert Sheckley--check out Options.
