> The last man is the archetypal passive nihilist. He is tired of life, takes no risks, and seeks only comfort and security. Therefore, the last man is unable to build and act upon a self-actualized ethos.

		You didn’t used to have to append the operator to find what you were looking for. People only started doing it because the relevance of Google search results declined.
