Schon #Seneca empfand Unbehagen am damaligen #Schulbetrieb.“

»My wife uses a mechanical keyboard because I put it on her desk; if I took it away, she would go back to her $30 Logitech membrane keyboard with no complaints. I put the Seneca on her desk. She said it was fine. I took it away. She went back to her other keyboard.«

Norbauer #Seneca review: a $3,600 luxury keyboard for the keyboard obsessed

Useless quote for 1 June:

"… mercatoresque et venales in vicen facti quaerimus non quale sit quidque, sed quanti …"

(We become alternately merchants and merchandise, and we ask, not what a thing truly is, but what it costs.
Trans. Richard M. Gummere, 1925)

~ Seneca the Younger (Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger), in Letter CXV to Lucius ("On the superficial blessings"), c. 65 AD
