If I may add to the above definition - the very substance of "life". The fact that humans are "alive" is due to the 'Soul' (Sol [light]), which contain the "Code".

We'll leave that as that for now.

The Matrix which we're in is a program and everything therein (including humans) is.

Therefore Code is key - its everything.

So LEARN TO CODE.

On (Not) Learning to Code

- The Atlantic

If you check out the homepage for Code Year -- where many thousands of people are following the weekly tutorials in Javascript -- you'll see this line from Douglass Rushkoff: "If we don't learn to program, we risk being programmed ourselves." (He even wrote a book about it.) Similarly, the fine Mac developer Daniel Jalkut writes,

Literacy isn't about becoming a Hemingway or a Chabon. It's about learning the basic tools to get a job done. I think programming -- coding -- is much the same. You don't have to be the world's best programmer to develop a means of expressing yourself, of solving a problem, of making something happen. If you're lucky, you'll be a genius, but you start out with the basics.

Long ago, it would have been ridiculous to assume a whole society could be judged by its ability to read and write prose. It feels ridiculous now, to assume that we might use computer programming as a similar benchmark. Yet it may happen.

"It's more important to learn to code than to learn a foreign language."

Apple CEO Tim Cook Learned to Code in College

- MacRumors

Under the leadership of Apple CEO Tim Cook, Apple has spearheaded an "Everyone Can Code" initiative designed to introduce coding curriculum into elementary schools, high schools, and colleges, so kids and adults of all ages can learn to code.

Apple CEO Tim Cook always speaks passionately about the importance of teaching coding to children of all ages, and last week in an interview, he even said that if you have to make a choice, it's more important to learn to code than to learn a foreign language.

I learned in college. No classes exist in the high school I attended. I'm happy this is now changing.
