I haven't read the article, but I assume the real answer is because it's a visual representation of a bunch of vectors. These models use a ton of vector math to function.

No, I mean we humans are deuterostomes - meaning at one point in our embryonic phase we were nothing but literal assholes. Then we developed from there (hopefully)

Because capitalists are assholes who steal from both ends of the Working Class: they cram down wages while soaking the consumers for all that they are willing to spend.
