 ## Step One: Engage Motor Neurons
 
-Ok, ok, this has nothing to do with sporks. Assembly is a whole lot cooler than we give it credit for, 
-knowing it can be a major lifesaver. Ever wondered what the hell the was actually in your executable? 
-Ever had a program that didn't quite work, and you struggled to figure out why?

+# Languages: Why You Should Have a LISP
+
+## Software Autonomy and You
+
+If you really want to start from zero, how do you begin? At the very bottom of the stack,
+computers speak machine code, often translated from assembly. The easiest way to get rolling
+is with a lovely family of languages, often referred to as "concatenatives" or "stack languages".
+
+## Interesting content path
+low-level programming walk through basic language/computer theory
