Coding

Coding has proven essential to human survival and progress because it facilitates data processing, information sharing, and output collaboration. Coding is not only about digital information technology. Analog coding such as human languages preceded digital information technology. Improving your coding skills--analog and/or digital--should prove a rewarding investment move today and in the near future. Word to the wise: continuously improve your coding awareness, knowledge, and skills.

Three skills set humans apart from all other animals: imagination, communication, and collaboration. Imagination allows humans to project images about the world or the "objective" reality out there. Communication allows humans to share these images, or ideas about them, with other humans. Collaboration allows humans to work together towards the achievement of common goals. 

Presumably, most other animals also imagine, communicate, and collaborate. However, humans are better at it. The reasons are most likely that humans have a better adapted central processing unit (CPU) or brain, and humans better coding technologies (languages) to facilitate storytelling. 

Human languages (e.g. English, Latin, Chinese, etc) are forms of analog coding. Digital coding turns data into digits (ones and zeros) for processing by machines (computer processing). Analog coding turns data into sounds, symbols, or a combination of both for processing by human brains (cognition). Verbal or oral languages turn data into sounds, and sounds into images. Written languages turn symbols into images, or into sounds that are turned into images.  

Imagination allows humans to run images and create stories. Analog languages allow humans to share stories from one brain to another. A human cannot physically transmit an image from one brain to another, but by converting it into oral sounds or written symbols that other humans can either hear or read, the humans effectively transfer stories from one brain to another. 

Storytelling or idea sharing can bring humans together for collaboration and team work. Generally, collaborative team work exceeds the output of individual work both in quality and quantity thus helping humanity survive and thrive.

Great Replacement

Great Replacement vs Great Awakening The Great Replacement is the observation that a segment of the American political left wants to control the Nation politically by replacing American born white voters with nonwhite immigrants. The Great Awakening is the counter observation that a segment of the American political right wants to control the Nation by instigating white rage and white supremacy. Both observations hold true in the eyes of their respective beholders. This is still the classic North vs South conflict in America. There is a lot of money to be made keeping our Nation together and avoiding a second civil war.   TakeSlap serves spicy food for thought. We toss words together to slap you into innovative thinking.
