  • Epicureanism rejects immortality. It believes in the soul, but suggests that the soul is mortal and material, just like the body. Epicurus rejected any possibility of an afterlife, while still contending that one need not fear death: “Death is nothing to us; for that which is dissolved, is without sensation, and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us.” From this doctrine arose the Epicurean Epitaph: Non fui, fui, non sum, non curo (“I was not; I have been; I am not; I do not mind.”), which is inscribed on the gravestones of his followers and seen on many ancient gravestones of the Roman Empire.

    could be referring to “mad men” era secretaries as ibm era computers were just better fancier word processors/typewriters

    edit: or maybe like IT helpdesk staff who are like janitors (i.e. they don’t see a difference between calling environmental services for a clogged toilet vs IT for a bricked computer)
