I liked the thought experiment in some book I read once (was it that "Imagining the Tenth Dimension" one, maybe?) that described how free will only makes sense from our linear perspective of time, i.e. some other form of life that has different motion on the axis of time would consider the concept nonsense, as it only really works if we don't know the outcome for sure.

If you had even read TFS, you'd know that *they didn't.*

Users always say it's faster. If we really want to sacrifice all things on the Altar of More Speedifying, why don't we just remove everything but one giant button that you press and it gives you an orgasm? That's what everybody *really* wants, right?

No. I want the ability to use my fucking computer LIKE A NORMAL PERSON. I don't own a tablet and don't want one.
