> ouple of rows in the likes table of a social media website

Don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy this kind of obstinate reductionism and we don't remind ourselves enough that this is what driving lots of our interactions online.

However, I will just add a slight counterpoint in that my bank balance is, at the end of the day, "just a bunch of rows" in a database and, to be perfectly honest, that is somewhat meaningful. :)
