A bite from the apple...

1  2018-07-01 by lawlleen

When I was about 19 I got sober and got super into Jesus. Now I think that Jesus and a bunch of other people were dope examples (Muhammad, Ghandi, etc), but none of that matters.

When I was super into Jesus I also had a MacBook and had worked predominantly on apple products for the last few years via art school and then more art school, and I started to really think about apple as a company and how much their logo (as a design student) resonated with me. Steve Jobs was partnered with Steve Wozniak until (essentially) money took precedent over their relationship. These days, technology takes precedent over almost any relationship (not paying attention to those we’re with, online relationships, the list goes on). Back to Jesus, Adam and Eve, the apple, you know how the story goes.

Does anyone else think that apple products may be a symbol for some greater downfall of man? Or am I just completely alone in this?

No, no. It’s Pomwonderful that’s the culprit.

The symbol eludes to technology being the forbidden knowledge.

1  mastigia 2018-07-01

Technology, or more generally knowledge. This is just a retelling of the story of Prometheus imo.

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

I don’t equate technology necessarily to knowledge. I understand your concept of knowledge but I don’t believe the happenings of this world are necessarily that to gain knowledge from. Prometheus did give (in a mythical tale) fire and therefore an adaptation to human existence but that is not the point that I’m making. Both Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak are human beings that are fully verifiable and did well enough in life, but Steve Jobs was more than chasing, if not overlapping, the funds that were due him due to his technological advancements. The apple has always been the symbol and maybe apple is the symbol of where our generation is going as a result of the capitalist agenda. That’s all I’m saying. All of this Sent from iPhone so fuck me anyway

Maybe to add on this where some interpret the eating of the apple in the Bible as ensuring the demise of mankind, others see it as the real beginning of mankind and our human consciousness. Depends on the perspective of the person interpreting it.

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

True that! I can totally see that perspective on things! Pretty wild to think about

Their first prototype was built with an apple crate(?).

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

I understand that and I appreciate the logo as it stands but I think there is s poetic sense to existence and if there weren’t then words probably wouldn’t exist. I know it’s a shitball theory but at least I’m asking questions lol

You should get back to being sober. I always think it's funny that people who are so concerned about truth have no problem poisoning themselves with alcohol. But flouride is the real problem, right?!

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

I completely hear your point, however this was a thought that I had during sobriety and posted about while admittedly tipsy so while I do understand your high horse and validate its necessity, the point of the post still stands, beyond your judgement (lol)

1  Steph10sn 2018-07-01

No high horse. I'm just commenting as someone who gave up alcohol a year ago now myself after realizing how brainwashed as a society we are about alcohol. It's amazing how much more I am able to see deception now that I've been sober. I didn't have a "drinking problem" but I started researching alcohol and realized what a rabbit hole you can go down researching it. If drinking isn't a problem for you, awesome. I was only commenting since you said you used to be sober.

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

Well I apologize for maybe being a bit of a butt there!

1  JigSama 2018-07-01

LMFAO! Good point!

1  htok54yk 2018-07-01

There is a slight difference between voluntary imbibing alcohol for fun and drugging the entire population's water supply with a neurotoxin for mass control.

That's not why it was named apple. Jobs was a literal hippy in his early life, lived in communes and on the campus of Reed college in Portland, in his early 20's instead of going to college. He used to literally live in a diet of apples and water at times, as a way to fast. His early life is kind of interesting really. He was an asshole, but he named it apple because he liked apples.

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

I was just somewhat trying to stir the pot and share a thought long gone at this point. I don’t see the need to downvote you to hell. You bring up I am points that I am ignorant toward and I appreciate that

1  htok54yk 2018-07-01

Oh no! The loons on a conspiracy forum! How do you deal with it, man? Not everyone believes in the legends put forth by these tech auteurs.

1  gallopingbuttocks 2018-07-01

It's all documented in this case. The business began in a garage and they had no idea how successful it would be at the time, and the name and symbol were chosen early. It was not based on some mystical theory this time. Sorry about that. It was just some young dudes who liked the name. It was easy to remember and set them apart from IBM. Get over yourself.

1  htok54yk 2018-07-01

And Facebook has no CIA ties whatsoever! Why are you even on a conspiracy forum if you're so thick-headed?

You are just repeating a version of a story. There are other versions.

Note how that's different than 'truth'.

1  I_Buttchug_Listerine 2018-07-01

What does Jesus have to do with any of this?

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

The whole apple thing

1  LittleParallelograms 2018-07-01

Maybe Jesus ate an apple one time

1  Cobra-Serpentress 2018-07-01

Everything! Jesus is Lord after all.

1  AFuckYou 2018-07-01

No. I think technology helps encourage human relationships. Apple is apple. A shir company that makes shit products that sell to shit people because they enjoy eating shit.

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

I’m grateful for your ability to spread your own opinion. I really think it’s all shit but potential symbolism can’t just be passed by lol

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

The Bible, etc

1  Loose-ends 2018-07-01

A rather in your face bit of symbol magic that is of course completely ignored because it just couldn't be... now could it?

As patently obvious as it is and despite knowing full-well just how seriously the elites and their secret societies all happen to take such things and hiding them in plain sight in order to cast their spell over all those who think that there's nothing to it, I'm not sure what it is that prevents such people from seeing that it just as obviously works.

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

Word!

1  pmichel 2018-07-01

have seen the symbolism too

1  Pugmaster9001 2018-07-01

I've heard this theory talked about before and I'm sure there is something to it. Like all great logos, it seems to stand for multiple things.

1  Ariamas 2018-07-01

I just can't believe that Apple forcefully updates their older model devices and intentionally throttles them with said updatea to force their customers to upgrade to a newer model, and their customers just go with it without thinking a second thought. Truly mind boggling.

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

Agreed dude planned obsolescence has gone too far

1  skeeter1234 2018-07-01

One thing to keep in mind - nowhere in the Bible does it say the fruit was an "apple."

1  Cobra-Serpentress 2018-07-01

It was a Pomegranate!!!!!!!!!

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

Yeah but I mean it’s the widely accepted fruit lol

1  Justsaguy12345 2018-07-01

Probably. Its in your face like the band name Poison.

1  KingContinent 2018-07-01

Muhammed had child wives. He was not a beacon of impeccable morality.

1  lawlleen 2018-07-01

True that lol I read this over sober and thought to myself, “maybe I should have thought more about my choices of dope people and not just pick buzzwords..” Alas, I did not! Such is life haha
