What I love about this book is that every time I think, why not just do the thing the normal way, well I could say the same thing about 90% of the things I have a desire to automate.

I just like the fact that I am in a timeline where I am reading this.

So everything that went down in Azkaban is insane! The person that played the crying woman did a great job in the audio book.

I have to say that this is the first bit of philosophy I've read which I would classify as a page Turner. The chatauqua intermingling with the story is great!

A description of what happens when we look at paintings:

"Our minds contain interpreters which accept two-dimensional patterns and then pull from them high-dimensional notions which are so complex that we cannot consciously describe them."

Im so Meta Even This Acronym, the chapter, seriously, the "ending" of this Chapter is so meta and insane to a completely new level.

Padding at the end of books to make the ending a surprise is a great idea. This could, now, be achieved by using a kindle and hiding the progress, the ending would always come as a surprise.

Guys, symbols, subbrains and signals are literally off the hook.

Ant fugue ::by itself:: might be the most beautiful, profound and meaningful piece of writing I have ever read, nevermind everything in the book before it.

I thought this book was going to be good and profound, but I did not expect to see anything like ant fugue, contained within just one chapter.

One question I didn't expect this book to answer is why it's more fun to watch a movie you've already seen, with someone that hasn't seen it, than just watch it again by yourself.
