Idol Intel

Intel has decided to appeal the $1.45 billion fine leveled against it by the European Union for engaging in anticompetitive behavior; Intel is claiming that the proceedings have violated its human right to due process.

Due process is usually left for powerless individuals–sounds like intel is taking advantage of a loophole. The idea that institutions and corporations should be treated equal to human beings while devoid of moral imperative is repugnant.

The Zohar-Book of Secret speaks about those who praise the axe instead of the axeman being akin to the worship of idols; idols in those days worked as a way to get needed help from heaven without having to go through God–prayer. Idol worship is considered theft before God.

The first machine according to the Torah was when Noah invented the plow to make life easier on the human being procuring food; fortunately for us Noah does not hold a copyright! Machines were meant to assist the human being, but in our time of massive technological advances our adoration for things and the people who make them widely available is close to idol worship.

The only way a machine or a corporation can get close to God is through the intention of the human being who use the mechanics of society for the betterment of us all.
