Brainwash


My reason of having a new font sounds logical, eh?

As a matter of fact, from Microsoft Office 2007 onward, Calibri replaced Times New Roman as the default typeface in Words because of its superior readability on screen.

My decision is, therefore, another example of Baruch Spinoza's falling stone: The stone believes that it is falling by its own will without knowing that all it does is under the influence of gravity. I was convinced that my decision was an educated scientific well-informed balance of opinions, but, it turns out to have been controlled by a seemingly distant billionaire.

To go one step further, the stone is not only unaware of the fact that its motion is the result of gravity, on the stone you actually cannot detect gravity – but merely a distortion of mass and space. (Visitors with some understanding on Albert Einstein’s’ theory of general relativity would know this point well.)

This is really brainwashing.
