I started trying to learn code about a year ago and I still feel like the complexity of it is unbearably overwhelming. All I've really studied is some Java (and a tiny but of Python) because the university I'm going to focuses primarily on Java.

How long does it take to actually get a decent grasp of it? I'm still struggling to grasp all of the jargon and constantly have to go back to look up the definitions of things, particularly when it comes to data structures.

No, I'm not. And yes I asked about the meaning of life, but he thought that I was talking about metaphysics, which I clearly wasn't. And I was hoping he would be more helpful because even the Stanford Encyclopedia page is seriously unhelpful. Maybe I'm just phrasing my question poorly.
For the record, I did actually look into religion, and found nothing on this topic. That's why I asked the Sad. He knows his scholastics. Alas, he dropped me into the dustbin of questions.

>One believes one is commending a philosophy when one presents it as a popular substitute for religion. The economy of the spirit does indeed occasionally require transitional orders of ideas; thus the passage from religion to a scientific mode of thought is a violent and perilous leap, something to be advised against. To that extent this recommendation of a philosophy is justified. But in the end one also has to understand that the needs which religion has satisfied and philosophy is now supposed to satisfy are not immutable; they can be weakened and exterminated. Consider, for example, that Christian distress of mind that comes from sighing over one's inner depravity and care for one's salvation - all conceptions originating in nothing but errors of reason and deserving, not satisfaction, but obliteration
