think like a programmer. everyone needs to
to first expand and understand the full scale and complexity of a problem, to then decompose a problem into its fundamental simplistic structures.
programming points to the structural basis of logical thinking
ive also realized the fear of mathematical notation and fear of programming syntax is the same fear. they both encode fundamental ideas of logic they become far less scary when you think of their analog. they are just simply programmatic ways of representing simple logical ideas that a toddler can interpret.
its just that when you string a mess of these characters together it becomes daunting. a toddler, or the ooga booga monkey brain sides of us cannot comprehend the scale. but if we break things down to their microscopic scale it is quite simple. we cannot overwhelm the mind that is incapable of multitasking an entire codebase and parallelizing the interpretation of the entire structure, because it does not work like that. we need to draw singular focus to little pieces and slowly piece together the larger picture we are not CPU’s with parallel cores
simple mathematical operations (simple examples): subset-> a smaller group within a group iteration-> a toddler can count true/false, yes/no
THE DAUNTING EXTERIOR ENCODES A SIMPLE TRUTH, SUCH IS LIFE
