It's funny but each iPhone represents millions upon millions of hours of men of white European descent studying, experimenting, working hard to create something unimaginably complex and drawing on every field of scientific and engineering knowledge.
Consider over the last century:
- The students who decade after decade burned the late night oil studying at the college library.
- Another student struggling to grasp Maxwell's equations.
- Yet another young scientist skipping the kegger in order to spend Saturday in the chemistry lab finishing his lab work.
- The work of legions of technicians, engineers, and scientists showing up for work every workday, and diligently doing their part to advance technology and science.
The iPhone is the result of legions upon legions of unsung heroes, spanning decades of sacrifice, diligence, sweat, and work, each contributing his small piece to the puzzle. It the result of American heroes doing the work that had to be done.
And the monsters who snatch and grab the iPhones are lucky if they are able to spell their own names. The iPhone is so far beyond their mental grasp that it must be measured in orders of magnitude. A society left to these animals would be no society at all. It would devolve into a cargo cult of fear and anarchy.
