Several years ago, I listened to some lectures on the Goldbergs, and the lecturer commented on how it all weaves in and out on itself, how the canons go up and down, are inverted, reversed, etc. I thought, "That's crazy, man." But it all makes perfect sense. I just saw that your link was published on a palindrome date.

Indeed. It is somewhat dated by now, but it still happens every once in a while that a student tells me that he decided to study computer science or logic after he read GEB. Coincidentally I just finished reading a book by one of his former PhD students. |
