Assuming that were the case, what is the point you are trying to make? "Getting hot" is not the purpose of a computer. Rather, its a side effect (that people are trying to avoid).

See, the existence of the cooling bit of the system suggests a different purpose. You're making progress. So what parts of the social systems around you are meant to avoid the bad "side effects" you're suggesting. Might help to pick a specific example to talk about. Prison industrial complex and its purpose being to make things worse and traumatize people rather than rehabilitation would be my suggestion. But pick whatever you want.

Yeah, now imagine if people weren't doing that and the statement that a computers purpose is to run hot would stand.
