There is "no matter here"?

Last I checked, there are power sources, electricity, software, modems, keyboards, circuit boards, routers, printers, etc.

All these are matter.

I have worked in software development for about a quarter of a century. Gawd!!! On the whole, my favorite part of doing this has been to work with software engineers which are, for the most part, smart and craftsman like. Also, most have some kind of second love like photography, cartography, egyptology, music,....something that they work at with equal zeal, which makes them interesting and fun. I also like the fact that they make shit up as they go along, and don't pretend otherwise.

But the irritating part are the libertarian smoke rings, an absurd version of which Barlow blew in his manifesto.

No matter? Give me a break.
