NGL, GEB was a slog. There is a free MIT course that covers it, and I'm glad I made use of that. "I Am a Strange Loop" by the same guy covers the same concept

NGL, GEB was a slog. There is a free MIT course that covers it, and I'm glad I made use of that.
"I Am a Strange Loop" by the same guy covers the same concepts, albeit without the whimsey or color.
- aanet 2y agoWhat is the MIT course that covers this book? Many thanks!
- smrq 2y agoIt was a slog, all three times, and yet it's still probably my favorite book. Sometimes slogging through is just worth it, I guess! (I also enjoyed Joyce the one time I read him, so it's possible that I can just appreciate a good slog...)
- hnfong 2y agoBut... But... But the whims and color were the best things about the book! I also appreciate that I learned a lot of tangential things mentioned in the book that had nothing to do with the mind or consciousness.
