ok so you mentioned scifi
have you read any neal stephenson
i loved snow crash in high school
i also like greg egan's permutation city which is a speculative fiction about quantum computers and immortality
no
i havent read gibson's neuromancer yet though which some people claim is better than snow crash
so no cyberpunk?
i havent read Clarke but 2001 the movie is decent
Rudy Rucker is the only cyberpunk I ever enjoyed
but I don't think its very good
well
what about his ideas on AI
his nonfiction
it is good
who
rucker
not so much AI but consciousness in general
they're not that far from mine
i recommend daniel dennett's consciousness explained
well, sort of not that far
but i need to review first
we are playing out the INTJ/INTP dichotomy right now
thomas metzinger imo is the current AI pioneer
in a stereotypical way
he has a theory of noself
hahaha tell me about it
i mean literally
what is the dynamic
abstract versus concrete?
similar interests and often even conclusions
INTJ leads with introverted intuition
INTP leads with introverted thinking
introverted thinking is a function like the normal undersatnding of logic
and completeness
kant called these understanding and reason respectively
it seeks to understand the world piece by piece
its hume versus leibniz
developing a complete picture via gathering stuff
how old are you?
