Infinity 18: Descartes, Gibson, Turing Tests

What began looking like an interminable introduction to the Halting Problem. Things ellipses can mean in an infinite decimal expansion. More on one to one correspondence: its unrecoverable priority to counting like oral language's priority to written; Turing tests; Descartes on self-knowledge; the Dixie Flatline and his saying that it feels like he's sentient; the fact that Case is also a flatline, at least when jacked in. (Last podcast before Thanksgiving.)
