Senses working overtime #422

1 Viewing: Heironymus Bosch 





2 Reading: The Satsuma Complex



3 Viewing: The Diplomat




4 Reading: Aiming at the good (and other things Aristotlean)




5 Listening to: Caamp - Lavender Days




Overtime: 

An email from Steve Jobs, sent to himself, remarking on how much we all need each other:

"I grow little of the food I eat, and of the little I do grow I did not breed or perfect the seeds.

I do not make any of my own clothing.

I speak a language I did not invent or refine.

I did not discover the mathematics I use.

I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not conceive of or legislate, and do not enforce or adjudicate.

I am moved by music I did not create myself.

When I needed medical attention, I was helpless to help myself survive.

I did not invent the transistor, the microprocessor, object oriented programming, or most of the technology I work with.

I love and admire my species, living and dead, and am totally dependent on them for my life and well being."
