Why I Like Computers
Computers are cold and indifferent.
A totality of silicone, transistors, wires, and chips. Powered by electricity, they hold no prejudice. No judgements to speak of. They don’t know that I’m human, can’t see my face; can’t peer into my eyes.
They hold no core, possess no soul. To them, I do not exist. I am not here.
Due to this, there’s a sort of contract. A silence, a peace and camaraderie. A symbology between two machines. One biological and the other, strictly mechanical.
There are no arguments, no petty disagreements, power struggles, jostlings for position, or worst of all… emotions.
Just agreements and errors, falsifications and truths. Computers possess a clarity of mind in so far that they are logical to a fault. They have no opinion of politics, human stupidity, institutions, or anything else. They are cathedrals of metal and plastic. Simpler than the simplest man, colder than the coldest steel.
Computers are beautiful.
