You manipulate an APPLE, you see an APPLE fall from the tree, you learn
about gravity seeing the apple fall, you do not see a bunch of molecules
and particles and forces - Humans are not NEO from the matrix, we do not
SEE CODE - we see higher expressions through our EYEBALLS.

Design systems GOOD, EYE candy GOOD, complex particle physics - BAD NEO.
Take the blue pill.
