RE: Some Thoughts on "So, about this Googler’s manifesto" by Yonatan Zunger

Here is an article about working with your subconscious/unconscious.
It talks about how it doesn't hear no.

Does not process negatives: The unconscious absorbs pictures rather than words. So if you say, “I don’t want to procrastinate,” the unconscious generates a picture of you procrastinating. Switching that picture from the negative to the positive takes an extra step. Better to tell your unconscious, “Let’s get to work!”

So, when you read boogle's sign "Don't be Evil" you are programming yourself to "Be Evil".
