Please read Hofstadter and you will know more about truly interesting questions.

  "Seinfeld isn't funny". Hofstadter was one of the pioneers of the "not uncommon" idea.

    Right, but there is a big difference between "not uncommon" as disparagement vs as invitation to take part. This is how Hofstadter can connect with such a large audience despite tackling really challenging and fascinating questions. Edit: it actually is very possible GP wasn't being disparaging, in which case truly sorry! I'm not trying to be too snarky.

      Eh, ya I was not being negative on his views at all and he writes a lot of interesting things for sure. It was more of the outlook that his works attracted me because they touched on things I had seen glimpses of.

        Apologies for my short-sighted comment.
