I'm often reminded how deeply my thought process and morality is informed by my years programming and watching Star Trek.
Cause and Effect, systems and platform thinking, diagnosing root causes, organizing principles, patterns and primitives, making abstractions from a few data points and always - always - putting the truth above all else. Including trying to figure out the truth of my own mind, biases and inner most fears/desires.
Either that or programming + star trek appealed to me because that was my inherent interest/thought pattern. Who knows.
In either case, I recommend it for children everywhere.
