PROGRAMMING IS AN ADDITION TO THE SET OF LOGICS
—“Aristotle, Buddhism, Heidegger, Patanjali, Dawkins on evolution, Darwin, Hume, and my Cognitive Science and Oblect-Oriented Programming textbooks. Always keep coming back to them; underline, highlighting, marginalia, notes, etc. These ideas are infinite, because they express who we are essentially.”— Adam Voight
Notice his addition of cognitive science and object oriented programming.
Programming is a new form of logic. It’s as necessary as every other form of logic. Because it requires computability. Or put more clearly, it requires existential possibility.
You can learn philosophy very easily by designing databases and programs. The difference is that since a compiler cannot infer, you must provide a sequence of statements that are testable with the information at your disposal.
Programming is the most current logic that we have. It avoids the errors of set theory, which while useful, also leave room for catastrophic errors and deceptions.
