Kobojunkie:
1. You didn't comprehend the definition you have of the word Unipolar in your OP?

2. You are not making any sense still.

If you have clear instructions as to what not to do and what to do,what other information is required for one to obey the simple instructions given?

If given the basic instructions, Never use a straw to draw water from the tap." Are you telling me that you are incapable of obeying this simple instructions without additional information ?

The word “unipolar” is contextual. I was referring to the duo Good and Evil, which, by convention, are known to have a positive and negative polarity, respectively. Unipolar (uni -> one) means that they possess only one of the duo, which in this case is the good with a positive polarity. On the contrary, we have bipolar meaning that they possess the duo, since bi means two.

In regards to their non-compliance with God’s command, I would sincerely opine that God didn't see that coming. Even if he did, then it must have been his will for man to fall after creation. Another intriguing thing to ponder is, when they were in Eden, were they living out of their free will or the will within God's jurisdiction? If truly they were living according to God’s will, I believe that their disobedience to God’s instruction was preordained.

Kobojunkie:
1. Yes! That much is clear! 🤔

2. That is the ridiculous assumption you made at the beginning which I pointed out has no bearing whatsoever in what is in fact recorded in the book. 🤔

3. Nonsense, since the book instead states they were given clear instructions on what not to do and the repercussions to follow if they were to disobey.

2. I could barely recall if I made any superficial assumption that is worthy of being called “ridiculous.” I only inferred that before they disobeyed God and ate from the tree, they did not know evil.


3. Yes, the book clearly states all the instructions, but remember, they were without the knowledge of evil. If someone doesn't know what an evil act is, I believe that the person could easily be tricked into doing it. Moreover, I believe also that they lacked something, present in the tree, that made them gullible to be tricked by a reptile.

Kobojunkie:
Yes, that is what I said. He gave Adam a commandment detailing the good and evil that he, Adam, could do. So?

He simply told them not to eat from the tree. I believe that they don't know what disobedience was? They only know of the repercussions as God spoke.

Kobojunkie:
Probably !

In chapter 2 of the book, God is written to have given some knowledge of Good and Evil by way of His commandments to Adam. In Chapter 3, Adam and Eve were later condemned for doing the very evil which God warned them not to indicating that Adam(and probably Eve too) had knowledge of Good and Evil all along.

According to Genesis 2, after God created Adam, he put him in the Garden. He only gave him one commandment as it was written below.

Kobojunkie:
Probably !

In chapter 2 of the book, God is written to have given some knowledge of Good and Evil by way of His commandments to Adam. In Chapter 3, Adam and Eve were later condemned for doing the very evil which God warned them not to indicating that Adam(and probably Eve too) had knowledge of Good and Evil all along.

Then, you were wrong.

Kobojunkie:
This claim is false since the book does not in fact claim that Adam and Eve had no knowledge of Good and Evil. Rather, what the book claims they did not have was access to the knowledge of Good and Evil in the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil.

Oh…. Now I understand, that the tree itself is a compendium of knowledge of good and evil. This means that before the act, the knowledge of good and evil is in existence, but the tree of knowledge of good and evil has a unique set of the duo.

Kobojunkie:
This claim is false since the book does not in fact claim that Adam and Eve had no knowledge of Good and Evil. Rather, what the book claims they did not have was access to the knowledge of Good and Evil in the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil.

Do you mean that prior to their disobedience, they were stupid and gullible?

Although this isn’t a religious article, I will draw references from the Bible to explain the concept of good and evil. The first humans, Adam and Eve, existed as unipolar beings. Unipolar in this context means that they possessed only the knowledge of good. They only know and see what is good about their environment.

According to Genesis, the first book in the bible, they roamed around the garden of Eden naked without knowing what unclothedness is.

From my standpoint, they saw each other’s unclothedness, without having a debased motive. Adam saw his unclothedness without feeling embarrassed. Meanwhile, I strongly believe that it was due to the absence of corruption in the knowledge and understanding God originally put in a man. This implies that originally, man was without the knowledge of sin (absolute-zero knowledge of evil).

This analogy will help you understand this better. As an eight-year-old, you roamed around the whole neighborhood naked without feeling embarrassed or ashamed of your unclothedness. If you did this when you were young, how you felt then was how Adam and Eve felt when they were still in the garden - shameless.

After consuming the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve became bipolar. The incorruptible knowledge God infused into them was smeared by this one act - the act of disobedience.

This dichotomy is quite evident in human nature, where human possess the knowledge of good and evil.

After their ordeal with the snake, they became conscious of their unclothedness and were ashamed when a third party got involved (Say no to polygamy 😂). This one act got them ousted from the Garden of Eden.

Not a good riddance though. If not for the forbidden fruit, I would have been elsewhere without any clothing eating fruits with rodents while discussing important local issues with them.

Who is good and then who is evil?
A good person is someone who exhibits good works, while an evil person is someone who exhibits evil works.

However, what about those who do nothing? Are they still classified as either good or evil?

We characterize people as either Good or Evil based on what they exhibit, not what they know. Using Mr. K as an example, Mr. K knows that lacing someone’s drink with poison will get that person killed. In addition to this, he also posses other knowledge that are evil.

However, does knowing them make Mr. K evil?

No, not at all🤣. As we mentioned earlier, humans are bipolar in the sense that they possess both the knowledge of what is good and evil. On the contrary, what makes one either Good or Evil depends on what he/she exhibits. If my good works greatly outweigh my evil works, then I will be characterized a good person. However, if the reverse is the case, then I will be seen as an evil person.

Inclusively - naturally - humans are wired to be inquisitive and also to consume a lot of knowledge. Once in a while, we accidentally bump into and consume content and also make discoveries that are malicious.

I will attest to this also as I have bumped into a couple of contents.


Even though, I’m not advocating frequent exposure to inappropriate knowledge, but we can never ignore the fact, at least from a perspective that is profane, that it is the choice to exhibit good or evil that defines a person.

In conclusion, being good or evil is not defined by knowledge, but by the choices we make and action we exhibit. A good person is someone who chooses to exhibit good, despite possessing knowledge of both good and evil.

This is horrible.

Introduction
For ease of comprehension, we will be using exorcism for illustrations since it is the only perfect scenerio that clearly exhibits how authority works, people are accustomed to. Not only that, but also it is a perfect analogy for explaining the unhidden truths about the word "Authority."

What's Authority?
The word authority has oodles of meanings, but for the purpose of this exposition, we will take the one that aligns perfectly with what we want to convey.

According to Merriem Webster Dictionary, Authority is defined as the power to influence or command thought, behavior, or opinion. We can also say that it is the use of power legitimately.

chatGPT asserts the word "authority" to be the right or power to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience. Authority is typically granted through official positions, roles, or laws, conferring the right to make decisions or enforce rules.

According to Matthew 28:18-20, and I quote, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Jesus Christ averred that God conferred all authority in heaven and on earth on him. In addition, he exhibited a fraction of this authority by effortlessly healing those who were held in captives by infirmities; those who were demonized and also those who were possessed by demons, etc.

John 4:46-54 (NIV), this particular bible passage narrated how Jesus Christ healed the Official's son over a long distance with just an utterance.

Similar to the above-mentioned miracle, Jesus Christ revived Lazarus who was declared dead (John 11:1-41). There were countless miracles which Jesus Christ performed, and he did all these effortlessly, in fact, he did it without breaking a sweat.

When you research the miracles he performed and study them meticulously, you will notice that he only spoke and demonic spirits vacated (an act of obedience) their hosts without any hesitation because they recognized the presence of a power from a higher authority.

Jesus Christ wasn't the only one who performed miracles effortlessly. His apostles did that as well. To mention but a few: Peter's shadow healed the lame (Acts 5:15-16), he also raised Dorcas from dead (Acts 9:36-42), Paul healed the blind (Acts 13:6-12), etc.

Mind you that these guys were operating with the same authority that was conferred on Jesus Christ because according to John 14:12, He told his disciples that whosever that believes in him shall do the good works he did, and they will also do greater things more than he did. This passage asserts the notion about spiritual inheritance being unbiasedly available to those the truly believe in Jesus Christ.

Now, over the years we have sparsely recorded such miracles...

To be continued...

Boomboost:
If your wife is not in lust with you...
They say modern women don't love but 2024, nlers, let's make money.

Could you please rephrase that your first statement?

People often misconstrue the word "love" for "lust" which I found to be misleading. In addition, people also think that lusting after the opposite sex is all sin, but in constrat, it'snt. I refuting such a hypocritical ideology is an action some Christians will term rebellion against the standard the church has set for holy living.

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, and I quote, "Lust is an intense or unbridled sexual desire." Looking at this definition, we can infer that married couple lust after each other, and with it, babies are made because lust is the chemical reaction that drives sexual intercourse.

However, lust becomes unhealthy and also a sin when it now involves masturbation, premarital sex, and infidelity.

Love, on the other hand, is what keeps the union between two couple intact when they must have explored each other sexually. Love is what makes marriages last for 50 years and beyond. At this time, the couples must have been tired of each other sexually, and still have the discipline to remain faithful to each other.

What do you think?

WELCOME TO 2024!

Breezed through 2023, unscratched, like nothing happened. You felt as if you were walking on air, like a god. Didn't you? However, a lot happened, especially adversities - which in many, you were subtly shielded - to mention but a few: hearts were broken - new unions were blessed, many hearts bled as a result of the demise of their loved ones - songs of celebration saturated the entire atmosphere for new babies were born, many businesses filed for bankruptcy whereas others recorded profound growth and expansion, etc.

If I continue to enumerate the polarized pairs of occurrences which happened the previous year, they'll definitely surpass the Facebook's text limit.

To summarize, for all that happened, most importantly, lessons were learned. The year 2024, based on my perspective is a golden opportunity to rewrite the previously incurred wrongs with fresh insights garnered in the previous year. Nevertheless, I think intergenerational friendship will be a great way to start the year 2024!

Happy New Year!

dutch84:
Yes, there is a difference between intelligence and literacy.

More of our people need to understand that English language is not a measure of intelligence.

Did you know you can learn maths and sciences in Igbo language. That is what I aim to do in my YouTube channel. Will you call somebody who understands nuclear physics in Igbo language unintelligent or an illiterate?

Please check out my YouTube channel and let me know what you think
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuyOOyyI10Y

Intelligence is way beyond being fluent in English language. If truly it's measured by how effective you can commune in English, then what will Chinese engineers be classified as?

Read the article again.

Do you know that I'm an illiterate?

What if I tell you that I'm a hybrid, that's I'm both a literate and an illiterate.

For instance, I was born and brought up in Igbo land, right? I can read and understand articles written in Igbo language, speak the language fluently, write effectively in the language. All these activities above-mentioned make me an Igbo language literate.

What if I travelled to Kano State? A state in Nigeria where the majority of the occupants sprout from a tribe totally different from my tribe of origin. These people write and speak in a language totally different from mine. In that particular environment, will I still be considered a literate?

The word "literacy" according to Merriam Webster Dictionary is the quality or state of being literate, where "literate":
1. able to read and write.
2. having knowledge or competence on a particular field.

The layman's definition - literacy is simply defined as the state or quality of being able to read and write.

From the definition, I know that you have deduced already that I'll be pegged an illiterate in Kano State since communing with the locals verbally and in writing will be impossible.

Why?

I don't know how to communicate verbally and in writing in Hausa or Arabic.

Note: This analogy isn't only limited to our ability to communicate in our diverse languages (orally or written), but it can further be extended to other fields. As an engineering student, I'm a literate in the field of electronics, electrical, and computer engineering since I have wide knowledge and competence in these fields. Inclusively, I'm a computer, physics, and mathematics literate also, since I have a rich knowledge on these subjects as well.

However, regarding the field of Biosciences, Law, Art, Social Science, and other engineering domains such as Mechanical and Chemical Engineering which are totally unrelated to the fields that interest me, I'll be pegged an "illiterate" since I lack the basic knowledge and competence required to make any statement in these fields.

BASIC WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN RELATE INTELLIGENCE AND LITERACY.

Literacy deals with "particular" while Intelligence deals with the "whole." Literacy can be considered as a subset of Intelligence meaning that all literates are intelligent, but not all intellectuals (humans) are "completely" literates. Literacy soley depends on Intelligence because in its absence there's no literacy. It's Intelligence that facilitates one to develop the ability to read, comprehend, and then write.

I and a friend had an argument on the meaning and the relationship between this two words: INTELLIGENCE AND LITERACY.

His thoughts, as a result of his limited knowledge on the subject matter, and stand on the argument was that the two words can be used interchangeably since they convey a similar, if not the same meaning. The whole argument would have been brief and also would have made a lot sense to him had it been we have a reference (Dictionary).

I found out that no only he was ignorant of propagating such a blunder, but also I have heard people misconstrue the words literates for intelligence, illiteracy for stupidity, and vice versa. That's they often mix-up the two words thinking that one can be used in place of the other, or vice versa, unbeknownst to them that the two words are totally distinct from each other.

The word "intelligence" according to Merriam Webster Dictionary is;
1. the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations.
2. the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests).

The layman's definition - intelligence can simply be defined as the ability to comprehend or understand ideas (either complex or simple).

Humans naturally are intelligent beings. Yes, we are. There're basic tasks which require minimal intelligence every human knows how to execute. The execution of these tasks solely depends on the application of knowledge acquired by learning, the ability to manipulate one's environment, and the ability to think in abstract. Almost everyone can boil water, perform basic farming activities, walk (walking requires intelligence because it was learned), communicate as well as comprehending simple ideas, etc. Humans also naturally have the ability to distinguish between a series of things, feelings, and emotions. They can distinguish between right and wrong based on a system of beliefs, herbs, varieties of foods served, qualities of water served, change in time, change in temperature, etc. In addition, these qualities aren't limited to sane individuals only, but even the so called mentally deranged can sometimes distinguish between these things above-mentioned.

Let's use the mentally deranged as an example. I used the mentally deranged because they are often seen as men of absolute-zero intelligence. It's utterly oblivious to the world that the men they considered "mentally deranged" still have remnants of intellect imprinted on them.

How did I come up with such an implausible fact?

Have you ever seen a mad man walk in the middle of an express way disregarding the possibilities of getting knocked down by vehicles moving at a very high speed?

No! Once in a while, I have observed that they either walk along the sidewalks while trekking down an expressway or take a moment to access the traffic to avoid being knocked down by vehicles before crossing the expressway.

Why?
Probably, it's because they have already had this intellection (abstract thinking) that if I walk in the middle of the expressway, I may get crushed by a vehicle which is evenly an undesirable experience any sane individual wouldn't like to have.

From this, we can deduce that mad people are also intelligent, but their intelligence is at its lowest degree. Men of low intelligence are regarded as the stupid ones. However, they're not utterly stupid, but rather from my perspective, I see them as "men of low intelligence."

Sincerely speaking, I haven't seen or heard of a man who's utterly stupid, that's a man of zero intelligence. Nah! I haven't! The mentally deranged which are often regarded as men of null intellect in our society, as I found aren't completely stupid.

In conclusion, everyone is intelligent, no one as I have observed so far is completely stupid.

Humrous one liner: Anyone expecting self glorification will be disabused of the notion by the contents of the article as he/she reads down the article.

Next time, we will discuss "Literacy"

According to the bible, men of the old lived very long. Some lived for 600 years, while some a jaw dropping 900 years. Dame! That's some overhyped shit! However, nowadays, men barely cross the threshold, 130 years. From this, it's quite obvious and satisfying to conclude that as humans evolve, their livespan tends to decrease.
_________________________________________________

Wait,....... Just wait. Can we also say that the bible has been misinterpreted in this aspect? 🤔
_________________________________________________

Now, if we assume that what was written in the holy book is an absolute fact. Then, we can as well say that it supports our initial deduction being the obviousness of the decrease in our livespan as we evolve.

🗣️ Time shall come when men shall live just for one day, till they live no more!

Moreover, if we also assume that what was written in the holy book is simply a mere human fabrication or as a result of miscalculation. Then this simply clarifies the assumptions about the holy book being adulterated.

In conclusion, if my initial claim seems to be the absolute truth, then I'm afraid to opine that humans are becoming the extinct species.

What do you think about the concept of AGE PARADOX?

THE SECOND MISSIONARY JOURNEY
In my research on the best programming language for beginners, I stumbled upon a blog article that highly recommended learning C programming language first as a beginner. It was considered one of the easiest programming languages to pick up since it offers a more beginner-friendly approach, especially for aspiring computer engineers compared to Java Programming Language, which can be too verbose for beginners.

As a freshman in Industrial Physics, I started learning C a few months after returning to school in Wonderland. This time, I had access to a computer system, making the learning process easier than my previous attempts. I preferred learning from books rather than videos because they provided more comprehensive explanations of vague programming concepts. Over time, I developed unusual insights...

THE GENESIS
Hello everyone, my name is Mr. A (real name withheld) and I am an engineering student currently interning at a weird institute in Bubble Land.
In this post, I want to share my journey on how I began writing computer programs and the various domains of computer science and software engineering that I had the opportunity to explore before discovering my passion for Data Science. While I was still working on the prerequisites required to pursue a career in Data Science at the time of writing, I believe that my experiences can serve as a source of guidance and motivation for anyone looking to pursue a career in this field.

How it all started!
At eighteen, a few months after finishing secondary school, I began writing simple computer programs. These programs included ones that displayed information on the computer console and ones that performed basic mathematical operations. I have always had this affinity for computer systems and their internal operations. These were the primary motivators that fueled my passion for computer programming...

lalasticlala I don't if this thread is front-page worthy.

This picture reminds me of an excruciating ordeal I had in IGS - Awka as a Junior student. The entirety of the occurrences is still fresh (Ö bürö obele ife). In the year 2013, during my Junior WAEC examination. We were strictly authorized to be in our colorful sports uniform instead of our traditional school uniform the next day for our exams.
Out of negligence to the school administration, most students failed to comply. And among the defaulters is the young guy writing this whole chronicle.

D-Day
A few minutes before the examination, one of the invigilators asked the defaulters to leave the hall. We left with the speculation that the shore was clear. Probably within a minute or two, we'll be summoned to take our exams. In addition to that, we received a message void of red flags (we come mess up here). We were asked to meet the principal for further dealings (Kai I 4 Japa o ).

We all elegantly match to the principal's office in our well-ironed school uniform, even though some wore a wrinkled one. When we met him, he asked us to line up according to the divisions in JSS-3 class (A, B, C). He then went back inside his office. A few among us with foresight stealthily vanished into thin air.

Omo, they have seen the calamity beforehand. We the obedient idiots agreed on lining up.
A few minutes later, he came out with heavy-duty canes - canes meant for dinosaurs. It then dawned on us that we are not there to listen to a motivational speech. LIE DOWN! He shouted. My nyash was reformatted that day. The rest na HISTORY!

robinso01:


Yea,i met some who like pepper also

robinso01:
I remember cooking noodles with grinding pepper and i gave some of it to my neighbor's son,forgetting that igbo people don't like pepper. As the boy was eating, he was drinking water and sweating profusely, that was when i remembered that i'm in yorubaland again.

Igbo people dey chop pepper, but levels set nawww

Olaoluwa112:
Something I wonder you people think.

First of, not all yorubas consume too much pepper.
Then, the vendor you bought that noodles from has her costumers who like the level of the pepper in her food, so you have to consider the larger consume not just one stranger.
Lastly, if an oyinbo person taste your own tribal food, he/she will still complain of the quality of pepper in it.
Human wants are insatiable.

So In general, Yoruba people don't eat excessive noodles.

AN INNOCENT BOY IN THE STREET OF COMPUTER VILLAGE
Out of curiosity, I decided to have a bowl of their StreetSide-made noodles. I could vividly still recall how spicy their food was. Cheii!!! Having eaten just a spoonful, I was gasping for air . The burning sensation was out of this world. The most amusing fact was that I used a complete sachet of water to subside the hotness aroused by the intake of each spoonful of the noodles. After the fierce battle, I was sweating profusely like a prisoner devouring dog meat. Indeed, Yoruba and pepper are like Eve and the apple. Hats off to the Yoruba people!

What exactly does it mean to pray with the word?
Praying the word simply means incorporating the word of God into your prayers. It also means backing up or supporting your prayers with the scriptures (word of God).

It's quite obvious that Jesus Christ prayed the scripture. According to Matthew 27:46 (NKJV), “And about the ninth hour, Jesus Christ cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” That is, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"
In this particular scenario, Jesus Christ quoted the first line of Psalm 22, saying, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?”
And since Jesus Christ prayed the Scripture, it's also a mandate for us to pray with the Scriptures.
There are oodles of reasons why we should pray with the Scriptures, but we will focus on just one for the sake of conciseness. And that’s: praying the Scripture gives us “access” to the Father. Let’s look at the word “access”. What does it mean? According to the Google dictionary, access means approaching or entering (a place) or retrieving or obtaining access to something.

Let’s use an automated teller machine (ATM) to explain access. If you want to make a withdrawal at an ATM, you either need a physical or digital key. Without any of these keys, you can’t make a withdrawal (you can't access your account). The key contains a digital signature that will give you access to your account for you to make a withdrawal. Praying the Scriptures is likened to the above analogy. You effectively need the word of God to make a withdrawal in the Spirit through prayer. But why is the word so crucial in the course of accessing the father? Let's look at the book of John: 1:1–2 (NKJV), “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." He was at the beginning with God." The TLB version used “Christ” in place of “Word”. John 1:1-2 (TLB), “Before anything else existed, there was Christ, with God. He has always been alive and is himself, approaching or entering (a place) or retrieving or obtaining God. ” This solidifies the fact that Christ himself is the word of God.

Let’s also look at John 14:16 (NKJV). Jesus said to Thomas, “I am the way, the truth, and the life." No one comes to the Father except through Me." (verse 1). So to have access to the Father, you need the word of God, which is Jesus Christ.
In summary, including Scripture in your prayer is equivalent to making a spiritual withdrawal using Jesus Christ as your physical or virtual key. Gracias!

THE SIZE OF A VARIABLE
The size of a variable is the number of memory spaces it can accept, determined by the kind of data it can store. So when you declare a variable of the type float, your computer automatically allocates memory or a cell of the size 4 bytes, extending to other data types.

SIZES OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF VARIABLES

INTEGER VARIABLES:
Short Integer - 2 bytes - 16 bits.
Integer - 4 bytes - 32 bits.

FLOATING-POINT VARIABLES:
Float - 4 bytes - 32bits.
Double - 8 bytes - 64bits.
Long Double - 10 bytes - 80bits.

NON NUMERICAL VARIABLE:
Character - 1 byte - 8bits.
Object - Determined by the number of attributes in the class of an object.
String - Determined by the number of characters in the string.

STATIC VERSUS DYNAMIC
In statically written languages, we can stipulate the kind of data or values our variables can pack (Declaration of variables) as opposed to dynamically written languages in which the type of data a variable can accept is determined by the initial value it takes. We do not declare variables in some dynamically written languages.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DECLARE A VARIABLE?
In statically written programming languages (Java, C, C++, C#, etc), when a variable is declared, a cell is automatically allocated for the variable. In most cases (language-dependent), the allocated cell or space may contain a garbage value; this value is a result of other programs utilizing that particular memory cell or space and releasing it when terminated without proper deallocation. And this is where INITIALIZATION comes in. INITIALIZATION is the act of assigning a variable its initial value. We can use INITIALIZATION to reset the values or bits in the memory cell.

What are variables in programming?

In a layman's definition, variables are content holders (Image 1). They can hold values (Numerical, Alphabetical, Objects, Functions, Memory addresses, etc). One unique characteristic of variables is that they are mutable.
Variables are stored in the computer memory (RAM - Random Access Memory). To have an in-depth understanding of how variables function, let us view a section of computer memory as a grid or checkerboard (image 2) where each cell represents a space that can take up a value.

Assumption: A variable points to each cell; that's a variable represents a cell.

Each cell is pointed out or identified with a unique number, and this number can be in binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal number system called memory addresses.

A memory address, often represented in hexadecimal, is a unique address given to each specific cell for easy identification in computer memory. Our computer knows where to extract values using these addresses.

Humans understand variable names, while computers understand memory addresses.
