hi how are you. im fine too. welcome to the best apple products in 25 years*. but first a few words about friedrich nietzsche i know most of us have read the original german version of his works but this is a party everyones invited to so im gonna quote wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_return posted:Eternal return (also known as "eternal recurrence") is a concept that the universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across infinite time or space. The concept is found in Indian philosophy and in ancient Egypt and was subsequently taken up by the Pythagoreans and Stoics. With the decline of antiquity and the spread of Christianity, the concept fell into disuse in the Western world, with the exception of Friedrich Nietzsche, who connected the thought to many of his other concepts, including amor fati. quote:The thought of eternal recurrence appears in a few of his works, in particular §285 and §341 of The Gay Science and then in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The most complete treatment of the subject appears in the work entitled Notes on the Eternal Recurrence, a work which was recently published alongside Søren Kierkegaard's own version of eternal return, which he calls 'repetition'. Nietzsche sums up his thought most succinctly when he addresses the reader with: "Everything has returned. Sirius, and the spider, and thy thoughts at this moment, and this last thought of thine that all things will return". However, he also expresses his thought at greater length, and perhaps in its finest form, when he says to his reader: 1976. steve jobs pbuh built the first computer in history with his bare hands and founded apple inc. a string of successes. the lisa. the mac. 1985. mba and professional ceo john sculley thought steve was a nuisance apple didnt need. geniuses and numbers guys often clash. steve was kicked out the company was doing better than ever. system 7. the powerbook. looks like apple didnt need abrasive steve after all. it took a few years. then the newton. the pippin. the apple digital camera. some hideous thing called the powercd the 5.5 inch iphone. the iwatch. beats headphones. the 13 inch ipad 2012. tim cook kicks out scott forstall. today the foundations of civilization are at steak. will jony and tim destroy 4000 years of philosophy by making these things actually own? or will nietzsche prevail and plunge us into a dark decade of ridiculous poo poo as we wait for scotts glorious return What can everyone do? Praise and blame. This is human virtue, this is human madness.
