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.

Christian Abortions

Christian women should vote for Democrats to protect the sacred right to medically sound and compassionately humane abortions in the United States. Guaranteeing access to proper abortions under adequate medical care is not only a human right, but also a Christian obligation. Christian entrepreneurs should also tap into the untouched business opportunity of promoting Christian abortions.  Slap is food for thought. Take more at  TakeSlap.com   Christian faith stands for the belief in a heavenly father who loves his children on Earth. When that heavenly father sends one of his daughters a gift of life, daughters should feel loved and empowered to safely, kindly, and humanely return the gift to the father if desired. The heavenly father is not a monster or or sadistic deity.  The heavenly father will understand and appreciate the safe return of the unborn soul to heaven. The heavenly father will not want his daughter to suffer and will not want the soul to be in the wron...

Democracy is better than war

Politics is the best sport on Earth. Democracy is not perfect; it's simply a substitute for war. For democracy to work, the loser of the contest must accept defeat. All sitting presidents of the United States who have lost elections while in power have accepted defeat except one, Trump. Mounting evidence against Trump coming from the January 6th Hearings seems to indicate that Trump planned a violent coup to stay in power even after knowing that he had lost the elections. If that is the case, Trump should be indicted and prosecuted to preserve the rule of law and secure the future of democracy. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Democracy vs war In the old days, political power was gained by waging war. Opposing groups would go to battle. Whoever won the war would get the political power. All major civilizations developed their status by becoming experts at war.  Whoever had the best armies and weapons would typically win. That is still the case to this date, and t...

COVID was a blessing in disguise. Unfortunately, the virus killed millions worldwide, with the United States arguably leading the world in preventable deaths. Fortunately, the human response to the pandemic brought significant scientific, technological, and social progress that should flourish in the years to come. The response to COVID19 also brought high inflation, which brings many opportunities for savvy entrepreneurs. Chances are that the world is already a better place thanks to COVID19. What do you think?  Slap is food for though. Take more at TakeSlap.com A blessing in disguise. For many Americans, the COVID19 pandemic has been a blessing in disguise. Three main improvements that we can think of are: mRNA vaccines; remote work technology; and Trump out of the White House. A major opportunity going forward is dealing with inflation, which may end very soon with the upcoming recession. COVID19 accelerated the production of mRNA vaccines.  This revolutionary medical techn...
