Post #730

Welp, I have just finished my Calculus midterm. Feeling relieved, here I write this message, a total jumble of ideas. I would always argue that programming was crafting lines of symbols that perform some algorithmic job, that I don’t know how contributes to personal satisfaction, but to the wallet. Well, amazing philosophizing Murad, but you are a CS major. This is how I was never able to justify CS, even though I “loved” programming. But I didn’t realize how the same argument can stand against any other job. Law? spending life to study rules written by the dead. CS? A scramble of symbols that do not have any significant value alone. Trade, Econ, Finance? Knowledge of sinking deeper in the capitalistic society. Philosophy? Waste of time. It is we who create value in things weird or queer as football — chase of a ball. I did not mean to offend anybody, if I were to offend, it would be first myself, mentioning my own interests. I claim that people create meaning in things themselves, and that is alright.
