At 01:21 AM 3/01/01 -0500, Eliezer asked me in particular:
>Did you read Godel, Escher, Bach?
Aw, let's see... Yep, I reviewed it very favorably in a national newspaper
in August 1981, so it's just possible that I read it even before you did.
(I reviewed `The Mind's I' in April 1983, ditto.)
>Did you *like* Godel, Escher, Bach?
See the laudatory discussion of Hofstadter, in the context of
undecidability, in my 1994 book THE ARCHITECTURE OF BABEL, pp. 106ff.
>You seem to be exhibiting waaay too much shock over a simple bit of fun...
I thought we were having a reasoned discussion here.
