Yes, when you were learning those, you had a viewpoint from the outside. That you know there are things like discrete math, electricity, magnetism, transistors, ones and zeroes, etc, and level above level from these things a machine has been built. You wouldn't know how exactly, but you would understand how complex it is and how important it is to approach it with logic.

Now these people don't think. At all. Ads yell with music, pictures and colors at them, computers they use are about poking screens with fingers, and it takes a lot of courage to abandon that context.

Like in that experiment with a white ball being called black and a group of humans where some have been warned to call it black and some start doing it because others do.
