An unfortunate ramification of the nature of this evolution is that so-called normal people, who are not familiar with programming, will not immediately be able to experience this evolution. They may have to go through several lifetimes and reincarnations before being born as someone who later in their life becomes a programmer, but as the very purpose of life is to go from nothing to nothing via a period of existence, it is certain that everybody will eventually go through the aforementioned evolutionary process.
Everyone can achieve Satori in programming. They only need to reincarnate enough times until they stumble upon SICP.
I invented parts of the Satori meme, though I didn't come up with the name.

Well look, in any event, I invented the meme of meme stealing. And as I'm sure at least one of you are attempting meme theft, then you're using my meme. That's my meme!
