The human psychological condition arises in a strange loop. The mind is created within a cultural envelope which is itself created by the mind. Human identity is aquired as the cultural envelop is assimilated, a process in which other human agents are crucial. With the advent of information technology non-human agents have entered the loop. This paper discusses how this may affect our sense of who we are.
