[net.works] Bugs as fun

See Papert's "Mindstorms."  He argues that the traditional emphasis on having
the "right" answer is totally misguided, that life itself is a continuing
process of trial and error, of recognizing bugs and either (1) exploiting
them cuz they are more interesting than what you set out to do, or (2)
learning how to formulate the next trial.

Rejoice! When the bugs are all gone we might as well just suicide, there
will be nothing left to do.  Fortunately, I don't expect to run out of
bugs anytime soon...
