In this brief monologue, the speaker muses about the futuristic notion of building a system that could answer questions as Aristotle would, using his writings as a knowledge base. He frames this as the ultimate fulfillment of the personal computer’s promise—a promise famously articulated by Steve Jobs in 1985. The speaker reflects on how that visionary claim has personally motivated him, even driving him to stay up late fixing Internet Explorer 6 bugs at 2 AM just to ship a Messenger product, illustrating the tangible impact of Jobs’s long‑standing vision on his work ethic and dedication.

Wouldn't it be amazing if like you can ask Aristotle questions and have his mind opine on things based on maybe what he's written? And if you were to create that system, that would be an extraordinary good for the world. That would sort of fully realize the potential of the personal computer. Now, Steve Jobs says a lot of crazy shit, but he said this in 1985, right? And that promise has lingered in the air, and that promise kept me motivated to deal with IE6 bugs at like 2 AM, right? Just to get Messenger out the door.
