Dualism

Full Title or Meme

There are two primary components of computing, hardware and software.

Context

Traditionally the dualism in philosophy was called the mind versus the body problem. In particular the mind versus the brain has generated great volumes of writing that could easily have been avoided by a slight change in terminology. Although to be fair this is essentially the same as the discussion of nurture versus nature. In all of these imagined dichotomies, the boundary is really quite indistinct the closer it is viewed.
