What most schools don't teach.

[RoadRage]

But we dont need a country full of idiots either...

This is why I laugh a people when they say the United States is the best country when we have a large portion of the country who can't read,write and who is illiterate in math and science.....

No this country blue print is to have roughly 80% of the population smart enough to follow simple protocol while do very little critical thinking... Think about what most of us do for a living, and tell me how much actual decision making you get paid to do as opposed to following instructions... This is why is schools they spend more time in teaching us to be obedient, memorizing shit and following rules as opposed to actual free thinking and problem solving.. The system is designed to prepare 80% of us to work for jobs not to think and make the rules, then there are 15% who are trained to be supervisory or management while only 5% are trained to be independent thinkers and these are the ones who write the books the 95% of the population reads as well as right the rules and regulations, these people are often refereed to as luminaries...
The american people are being dumbed down mainly because, I think, due to the globalization (job outsourcing) as well as robotics and automation, many entry level jobs are being fazed out, and by dumbing the people down, they are rendered useless and unaware of their inevitable future, I guess ignorance is really bliss.

Remember the M.O. of the people in power is that they always give you rope to hang yourself and then blame you for it, even though it was their plan all along... This is why they are dumbing us down, putting ourselves in the position for failure, then these are going to be the same people putting out solutions to help deal with the crisis of the failing people.. Thats why we need to wake up and think, as opposed to doing what we think everyone else is doing, and what we have been convinced to believe what is fun...

programming isn't for everyone, but I do agree that everyone, especially kids coming up, should learn to do it, at least at some level, the same way everyone learns reading, math, some conversational foreign spoken language, etc. That way, there will be a bigger pool of people who want to take the next steps and get more advanced with it, and there will be a base of people who are not illiterate in terms of what software does.

They have been heavily promoting that video on my personal YouTube page.

I thought for sure it would have more views than it does with Mark and Bill being the screen shots for the vid.

Glad I found it early.

One of my best friends is a programmer and programming is virtually what is going to run every vertical on the globe.

If this country was to have more coders (higher thinkers) than regular workers and solders (lower thinkers), the U.S. as we know it, would collapse..

what they don't tell u is that they outsource most of their coding work to China and India, and its not because they cant find the workforce in America, its because they want cheap labor. Most tech jobs now adays are being outsourced.

They know and we know too. What coding does, essentially, is prepare you to not have to be concerned whether they outsource it or not.

Pursuing it teaches you how to think vs. what to think, therefore giving you the ability to write your own ticket whether a Fortune 500 company hires you or not.

As soon as you hit send on this post, you should have been in the process of changing your name, address, phone number, sex, and ethnicity because they hunt people down who tell the truth...

True it is not, but that experience will crack open your brain's true gifts.

Ok so where do i start learning code?

A good starting point is the Programming section at http://www.noexcuselist.com/everything

I recommend learning Python as a programming language first because it's
- an easy and intuitive language just as powerful as major competitors
- open source, so anyone can contribute to its development
- code that is as understandable as plain English
- suitability for everyday tasks, allowing for short development times
