The world has always been filled with stunted people with zero empathy, stinking up the entire place, at every level.

Alas, his kind is a dime-a-dozen. He surely had to claw his way atop of many others in the hierarchy, including other petty tyrants, to get to VP, and that kind of rat race only solidifies the lack of basic human decency.

“I am a Master Of The Universe, baby!” - to paraphrase Tom Wolfe’s The Bonfire Of The Vanities… about a Wall St. asshole’s downfall.

Whoa!

I am maga from Texas, I say we secede from librul states, we have all we need, like warm-water port for naval and industry.

Considering your specific example with an apple, what about other senses, what happens if you try and recall texture, smell and taste?

Monke brane and senses, well adapted to survive in the savannas of Africa, encounters math and gets baffled.

EDIT: Visualize the apes at the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey, scared but touching the monolith. Now imagine that the monolith is the square root of minus one.

More people than you can shake millions of sticks at, are stunted and stupid and angry beyond what we could imagine was possible.

“I’ve never seen anyone sad in a Ferrari. In fact, I’ve never seen anyone in a Ferrari, I’ve only seen the Ferrari as I pass by the dealership showroom.”

Lamborghinis, on the other hand… I once saw a farmer driving his Lambo tractor truck! And while I didn’t get a good look at his face, it was still awesome.

Tiger.
Champ.

Or go British!
Guv’nor or just plain Guv.

Boy oh boy, do I feel enlightened AND refreshed, by that video summary.

Have you heard of the truly ancient - Stone Age, in fact - ruins of what is now called Gobekli Tepe (Potbelly Hill) in Anatolia, Turkey, near the Taurus Mountains, between rivers that converge further downstream to create the Euphrates River.

These long-gone people, hunter/gatherers and slightly later hunter/harvesters (a primitive phase of agriculture), now called Tash Tepeler (in modern Turkic), build stone urban centers on a large scale, were completely unknown before 1992, and let me put it this way, how long ago they were:
Ancient Sumeria, cradle of civilization, where writing was invented, is closer to us than it is to the time when Gobekli Tele was thriving.

Gobekli Tepe is near halfway between the Lascaux and Chauvet cave paintings and us.

I say we nuke the place from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure.

The Jeopardy! question to the answer “42”.

I’d rather smoke with Cary Grant than with Dennis Hopper

I wonder if capturing the ISS is more difficult, moving at several kilometers per second, although the ISS trajectory can be accurately tracked and predicted with software, while a propeller airplane rising to around 11,000 feet has much more randomness to it, if you’re setting up your shot from the ground.

Oh yeah… he’s a goner!

TS Eliot would be proud.
So would Edgar Alan Poe, for that matter.

Aw hell… Dante, too.
The techbrahs and enshittifiers deserve the 9th circle, they are inch by inch savoring their betrayal of humanity.

Hey, it’s that guy from Fight Club!

Thærmodynamic Dæmon Mæ Mæin Mæn!

Dear Apple:

Do NOT do it!
Through your indifferent silence, let that parasitic warped megalomaniac get a hint to go fuck itself.
