Assignment 6- Alex

Personally, my favorite subject in school is math, but my favorite subject overall is computers. Normally i spend my free time doing something, anything, with them. Whether it's playing games or learning about them, it's fun. They have solid, set rules about how they operate unlike foreign languages with irregular verbs, or english with its grammar rules that can be optional (Sorry Mr. Logsdon). There's a reason for everything and there's a way to solve every problem. Yes, sometimes that answer is just bulldozing it with more computing power but that is still a concrete answer. Logic trumps all in the realm of computers and 1's and 0's. Sometimes resorting to cold logic is the answer to some real world issues, but really almost never. I personally try to stay as far away from politics as possible but that gets harder and harder as I get older and anything and everything is political. Speaking of recent events, someone in Hollywood is a Democrat and from what I've heard he did some bad things (no idea what they are or who he is, don't really need to know for the purposes of this example), and people online are calling out Obama and Hillary to denounce him. He can't just be a terrible person who is a Democrat, he's a Democrat who did terrible things. Two facets of life can be separated.
Rereading that, that stream of thought is an example of that. Even a kind of innocent blog post went down that path. But, also demonstrates my point, cold logic is not our strong suit as humans and isn't the answer but can be a tool at times. That's what I've learned from this.
