If they weren't ripping people of with every purchase there would no need for a "discount". I was the "guy" who was forced to replace our really nice Commodore Pet computers with that crApple BS in HS. Apple never did anything for the schools that they didn't get paid for.

This.
You're free to make up your own definitions for words, but it makes communication difficult.
BTW, does Wotan exist? Do you "not believe he does" or "believe he doesn't" ?
And what do you call your position?
Anyone expecting corporations to not try to make a profit and extract maximum value for their shareholders ignore that that's their fiduciary duty.
Fortunately they're exempt from any ethical duty.
atheism is the affirmative belief there is no deity
Monotheism is the affirmative belief that there is no deity but yours.
Atheism means not believing in any gods.
All computation is mechanical at its core
What about studies that indicate the possibility of quantum effects within the brain?
I'm going to venture way out on a skinny limb and suggest that all mechanical processes are subject to quantum effects.
