I read the article, and cared about your problem. I read this, and now couldn't possibly care less.

I believe the line is that you could care less, but that would take effort and you can't be bothered. :D

If you allow for the possibility of negative values for caring it is always possible to care less, it is just that there are diminishing marginal returns for that much anti-utility. :D

Alas, while caring can continue into infinity, zero is indeed the lower bound.

What about imaginary values of caring? Complex numbers need lovin' too! :D
