Plato is boring.
What is science? Once a body of knowledge, today still in modern
German. What is computer science?
What are all of us really doing? Creating a future world?
Steve said "Our goal is to stand at the intersection of technology
and the humanities." So he's only been back for less than a decade.
He's only gotten started. A lifetime barely lets us begin Humanity,
even, we have not yet begun. But c'mon. get going already. :)
I'm getting back into Cocoa, and even writing. I'll see what I can do.

If we want to create, we have to credit ourselves with much more
freedom than previously was given us and thus free ourselves of
morality and bring liveliness to our celebrations. (Intimations of
the future! To celebrate the future and not the past! To invent the
myth of this future! To live in hopefulness!) Blessed moments! But
then: let the curtain fall, and let us bring our thinking back to
solid goals near at hand! - Nietzsche

I was looking at the document Memory Management. What did I see?
Memory management, especially as it concerns Objective-C programs,
is an important but complex subject. Some of the more common
problems encountered by novice application developers derive from
poor memory management. Cocoa provides mechanisms and a policy to
assist you in the proper creation, retention, and disposal of
objects.
What is this?
Is this the kind of prose we would see from the best writer that
ever walked this earth? Does it inspire me to continue, to learn,
to wonder, to love?

All creation or passage of non-being into being is poetry or
making (tekhnē/technique/technology), and the processes of all art
are creative; and the masters of arts are all poets or makers. -
