Didn't read strange loop and probably (66.66"%) won't after your critique bothwell.
I really did enjoy GEB. It was entertaining to read esp the carolesque interludes
and the way he illustrated the mathematical points using exambles from art and music
and the way he illustrated the musical points using examples from maths and art so
I really didn't enjoy not reading BEG. It wasn;t entertaining not to read especially the recursive escher interludes
Will probably (33.33%) read strange loop thanks to your critique bothwell
You've missed out the probability of reading half of it before being struck by a meteor. Back to the probability tree with you!
That Penrose book is quantum mystic crap.
Ha! I enjoyed it. I've no opinion either way on his final conclusion (that consciousness itself is somehow related to quantum gravity) because I couldn't really see how he got to it, but I do agree with his misgivings over consciousness being algorithmic and I enjoyed the highly ambitious scope of his conjecture.
