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.



What is the MIT course that covers this book? Many thanks!



Thanks!


It 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...)


But... 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.
