Infinity 18: Descartes, Gibson, Turing Tests
Nov 15, 2012•1 hr 21 min
Episode description
What began looking like an interminable introduction to the Halting Problem. Things ellipses can mean in an infinite decimal expansion. More on one to one correspondence: its unrecoverable priority to counting like oral language's priority to written; Turing tests; Descartes on self-knowledge; the Dixie Flatline and his saying that it feels like he's sentient; the fact that Case is also a flatline, at least when jacked in. (Last podcast before Thanksgiving.)
