		<description><![CDATA[All the good philosophic questions are basically hopeless, resisting satisfactory answers despite millennia of inquiry. Human inquiry, that is. But what do our future machine overlords have to say? What pearls of wisdom can be found in those electronic circuits? No human being has ever resolved these questions, maybe we need a computer for this! [...]

There is a clunky word that describes this phenomenon: filiopietism, or the reverence of forebears or tradition carried to excess. But I prefer another term for it: the tragic circle. I believe many [...]

(For those of you who don&#8217;t know, BIL is an annual conference that complements TED, but with a different twist. This year it takes place March 2-4 in Long Beach.) My talk is still in the works, but it&#8217;s going to be about some [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s something I didn&#8217;t see coming. Remember the MIT Open Courseware class on Gödel, Escher, Bach I discovered and wrote about a month ago? Well, that day I submitted it to /r/cogsci on Reddit to bring it to the attention of some people I thought might appreciate it. I expected it to generate little interest, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The release of Raspberry Pi is around the corner, just a few weeks away. I&#8217;m looking forward to it. This computer, produced by the charitable foundation of the same name, is the size of a credit card and comes in at just $25 ($35 for a beefier version). Yet it is a full-on personal computer, a 32-bit Linux machine [...]

My recent efforts have produced a 10x gain in traffic, but that was starting from a fairly low baseline. It shouldn&#8217;t have caused any problems.

		<description><![CDATA[How cool is this. MIT Open Courseware offers a class called Gödel, Escher, Bach: A Mental Space Odyssey. It is an entire course geared around Douglas Hofstadter&#8217;s book Gödel, Escher, Bach. This is one of the greatest books I&#8217;ve ever read; it&#8217;s a true masterpiece. I first encountered it in high school. Ostensibly it&#8217;s a gorgeous web interconnecting art, [...]
