...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

On the one hand yeah, google wants to own your thoughts; but on the other hand when I was a kid the "phone book" - which was produced and delivered by the "phone company" - was a well-designed tool, with thoughtful extras provided without venal motive.
An atomized telecom industry has devolved the "phone book" into unintuitive spam - it doesn't represent, or rather it does too well.
I think Google should be given AMTRAK.
