I would like to comment on the hoopla surrounding the "Da Vinci Code":
It's not the Da Vinci Code, stupid, it's the Moral Code! Everyone knows some sort of undeciphered code exists that would reveal the secrets of humanity, but no one realizes it is the human moral code. This code, written in everyone's subconscious mind, is the code that needs to be deciphered. Everyone knows this code of right and wrong exists but no one yet knows what it is. This is the code that, when deciphered, will morally enlighten civilization.
Humans do not live by survival of the fittest or right of conquest as the animal world does. Humans have a special moral code that can easily be deciphered by reason. But since we live in a world of moral idiots who would be horrified if they could not continue to live in self-deception, the human moral code remains undeciphered.
