    When I asked “Whither Liberal Arts” (http://stratechery.com/2013/whither-liberal-arts/ …), I’m not sure I was asking for an actual poem… Still digesting.

        @monkbent considering what you wrote, this ad seems basically the same story (video) but with a disconnected narration on top.

        @monkbent I’d find it more inspiring if Apple were better sustaining the developers who make it possible for the iPad to do amazing things.

        @monkbent My thoughts after 3 views: This poem may express my personal "Dream", but the ad seems inaccessible, unlike the iPad.

        @monkbent Hah, your piece was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the new spot, too. Whitman quotes in a tech ad? No one but Apple.

        @monkbent I was going to say that I quote you so much in that post, that you basically deserve an author credit on it.

        @monkbent at first glance I read that as "disgusting"
