Like an astronaut experiencing theaftereffects of zero-gravity, Stallman found that hisability to interact with nonhackers, especially femalenonhackers, had atrophied significantly. After 16 weeksin the AI Lab, the self confidence he'd been quietlyaccumulating during his 4 years at Harvard wasvirtually gone.
"I felt basically that I'd lost all my energy, "Stallman recalls. "I'd lost my energy to do anythingbut what was most immediately tempting. The energy todo something else was gone. I was in... total despair. " Stallman retreated from the world even further, focusing entirely on his work at the AI Lab. ByOctober, 1975, he dropped out of MIT, never to go back. Software hacking, once a hobby, had become his calling.
Looking back on that period, Stallman sees thetransition from full-time student to full-time hackeras inevitable. Sooner or later, he believes, thesiren's call of computer hacking would have overpoweredhis interest in other professional pursuits. "Withphysics and math, I could never figure out a way tocontribute, " says Stallman, recalling his strugglesprior to the knee injury.
