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.)
