Apple and the New World Order

 

The question shouldn't be, 

'how long can my apple computer or phone last?',  

But, 

'How long does the component in it with the shortest lifespan that is supposed to be easy to change, but which apple seals in so that we can't, last?

ONE

The lifespan of the component with the shortest lifespan and which the entire computer relies on to function, will determine how long your entire computer lasts.  When you look at it that way - which is the only logical way to look at it - you will know how long your Apple product will last, or putting it another way, how long Apple WANTS your device to last despite the other components in it outlasting it.  

And finally, the component that lasts the least is actually the price of the ENTIRE device because you will be forced to throw out the entire device when that part fails. 

Or, you have the option of going to see some 'genius' in the Apple store and pay loads to get it repaired or upgraded, or in other words, pay to get past the obstacles Apple purposely put in place so that you will need to do that.  

That's like having a TV set that can last 10 years, but controls that only last 5.  The latter will determine when you throw it out.  And let's say you paid $1000 for the tv, and the controls on the market costs $50.  If you have to throw the telly out because the controls fail, and have been fitted in a way that it CAN'T be replaced, then you have effectively paid $1000 for the controls.

I use a Macbook 'Pro' which i bought in 2008.  It's 2020 now, and its still going strong.  You know why?  Not because Apple stuff is fantastic, but because i can change my harddrive, and even put in an SSD in its place, upgrade my RAM, and change the battery too.  I can also take out the DVD rom and put another harddrive in its place, thus having two drives.  THAT is why the Macbook lasted as long as it did and does, because i could upgrade the RAM to fit my growing needs (with music production) and also change my smaller and slower drive to larger and faster one, and also change out the drive when it failed.  The system is going to last as long as the motherboard does.  That makes sense doesn't it.  Throwing out the whole thing because my drive failed, or my RAM isn't enough, is like selling my house because my telly conked out.  

We simply cannot allow these corporations tell us that 'piracy' only happens when p2people do it them, but it is alright when they do it to the people.  If you think about it, p2people doing it to them may not be the case if the corporations were fair and just toward the people to begin with.  No, this is not a justification of anything, just an explanation of cause and effect.  Newton explaining gravity isn't the reason why shit flows downward.

TWO

These are the 'choices' that you have, not only in this area, but in many nowadays.  And Apple, is one of the companies in the forefront of determining the idea of 'Choice' itself, and especially amongst the young whom have no clue as to past standards and perspectives on things.  Choice is less and less to do with choosing between alternatives, but choosing on the basis of not being allowed legitimate alternatives.   

Now, people are focused on having alternatives, NOT having legitimate alternatives that maximise technology, our expenses on it, and give us the latest as opposed to selling us old tech at new prices.  That is why, for instance, a flimsy light pair of slippers or spectacles can cost as much as 1 to 10 grams of gold just because it weighs far less than gold.  When i was younger, i paid $100 for a pair of gold plated specs.  Now, it is 4 times the price for gold-painted specs, or plastic ones even.  Oh, but we got lots of 'alternatives' now, but hardly an legitimate, ethical, or reasonable alternatives.   

That is pure and simple Piracy, and what we are seeing here is a quiet and insidious corporate revolution that is monopolising the definition of concepts of freedom, justice, ethics, good and evil, right and wrong, for its own gains.  It has been the case throughout capitalist history, but now they are 'coming out' of the closet in the basement, up the stairs, into the light of day, onto the corporate pulpit, and simply stating that "that's the way it is mate.  We determine what's right and wrong on the basis of what delivers our profits."  

And as for people who say that one still has a 'choice' to NOT buy Apple products, that is pure unadulterated nonsense.  In the capitalist or any exploitative system, exploitative entities that get away with their gross chicanery will serve as the role models for others like it, and more companies will do likewise.  Everything, in essence, becomes Apple as Apple doesn't have a patent on being piratical assholes.  Capitalism, after all, is the democratisation of the Piratical Impulse, and hence, all companies to people can follow suit.

And eventually, the people will follow suit as well.  The moment you put up with an evil, you are putting it up in your house in perpetuity, and you will end up paying that evil rent in the form of working hard to afford to put up with it.   That's the moment your ethical system will begin to mirror it as you become desensitised to its unethical nature.  If you're alright with people robbing you, you will be alright with robbing people.  It is a natural psychological consequence.  

That is when people will become Evolutionaries, rather than continue to be Revolutionaries.  To be a Revolutionary is one of the quintessential features of 'being human', whilst the Evolutionary is the quintessential definition of animal.  Sheep have an evolutionary lineage, but no history.  They just have continuity. that is a consequence of their adapting to their environment, rather than remaking it in their favour.  In an Applesque society, it is the corporation and corporate governments who will have a history, whilst the 'consumer', the masses of asses, will only have continuity as a consequence of abdicating the progress of society to the whims and fancies of the corporation, corporate governments, or governments pandering to the corporation over the people in all ways that really matter.  

 

(an aside: You know, in the biblical Garden of Eden, we have the Tree of Knowledge that promises anyone who eats the Apple from it, the knowledge of Good and Evil, Right and Wrong.  Sometimes, i think that it may actually mean that when you eat from the Tree of Knowledge, you are eating from the Tree of Knowledge ACCORDING to the Devil.  After all, it was the devil, in the form of a serpent, that was owning the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden wasn't it.  That is when you will take on the Devil's perspectives on things, and his idea of right and wrong, and because of that, you will naturally lose sight of the Garden of Eden and wander away from it.  

If you think about it, no evil system can run without a monopolisation and manipulation of the idea of Right and Wrong, and through that, prune the people's identity and personality to ensure it fits with the agenda of the elite.   And the evolution of the capitalist system has come to a point where people even cease to think about Right and Wrong, which just leaves its meaning open for corporate definition.  It has been done in China for more than 2000 years, and now being effected via the capitalist system, corporation, and the corporate administration in the form of governments.  These are the signs of the times.  How is it that you do not see?   )  

FOUR

All of this is corporate piracy which makes corporate talk of piracy nothing but an attempt to point out the speck in another's eye so that people will be distracted from the log in the corporate eye.  

The purpose of the 'All Seeing Eye', which has been, and is, the focus of many a movie, conspiracy theory, occupies a central position on the US dollar note, and which is the aspiration of every fascist government from the US to China - though the Chinese have a 2000 year headstart on that - is not to see everything, but to blind everyone so that the little that the elite wants to self-servingly see and be seen will be confused for all there is to be seen.  

True Choice is not confined to choosing between A and B, but the people ensuring that A and B are the best that it can be.  Once your natural right to bring about the latter is taken away, you just become a victim in the former, and your history ends.
