There's an authoritarian theme to it all. They believe their god to be all-powerful and all-just. Therefore, that god must reward good actions and punish bad ones. The reward that our global society seems to run the most on is money. Therefore, any actions that gain you a lot of money must be good actions, thereby justifying the means of capitalism.

It can be hard to explain, but basically each row of rocks is a line of input/computation/output not unlike the binary code that flows through the circuits of a processor. It's a different representation of the same kind of work your device is doing right now. And, as you might think, waaaaaay slower.

I get it and I love it.

DVD Video screensaver. Cycles every minute when it hits the corner. Crowd pleaser.

Nice try, middle schoolers have been pulling this on each other since time immemorial.

And it's real good to see you here, if this is the original PK.
