Hey friend. Something I've been thinking about lately is altruism. I think altruism is the defining characteristic of a good society. Our society isn't really conducive to it, since capitalism presents everything like a contest. In a contest you have to beat everyone.

I think people hate socialism because it's a form of forced altruism. The altruists don't care because it's what they'd do anyway. Lately I've been reading about anarchism, which is an idealistic compromise. The idea is to build our society in such a way that it's conducive to altruism, which will encourage the most people to contribute. We wouldn't have to force them, because they'd all do it on their own if we teach them how, and if we built the society the right way.

I think it's possible, though maybe not within our lifetimes. Anyway, all that was to lead into something more relevant: the altruists we have now. There is an underground society of altruists, mostly on the internet, who are actively making contributions to make the world bett

Programming for Humans

This article is a recollection of my struggles to understand programming, and will hopefully aid people who are new to the craft. I hope it challenges anyone with experience, too.

How code relates to the physical world

The biggest problem I faced when learning how programming works is understanding how everything relates back to life and reality. Many tutorials show you how to achieve things with programming languages, but they don't explain why those things work. At some point it becomes about memorizing commands. In order to feel comfortable I feel like you really need to see the bigger picture.

There is a range of understanding starting from the code on your computer screen, all the way down to the electrons inside of the computer that make your code work. You may want to have at least a basic understanding of every step between. Without this knowledge, you risk becoming an [expert beginner](http://www.daedtech.com/how-developers-stop-learning-rise-of-the-expert-beginner/
