Everyone keeps equating programming with literacy. Why. This makes no sense. We have a legion of IT professionals that have no idea about programming at all. Could it be the only analog to "literacy" is really, simply the ability to use computers? Literacy comparisons is just too far. Literacy, in terms of reading and writing are much more fundamental.
Anyway, the reality is sure, logic is not for everyone. It clearly is not. I'm not talking about graduate level logic is not for everyone; I mean plain old logic is just not for everyone.
We may want it to be. But that's not reality. I think the world would be better of if everyone was at the same intellectual level of Einstein, but that's not reality.
- tikhonj 14y agoIn this case, I'm equating logic with literacy, which is more than reasonable. And it also happens that logic and programming are extremely similar (isomorphic, even).
