Isn’t that called telepathy? Maybe the CIA wasted some money researching something like that back in naive day, but seems way too sci fi to use to gather actionnable intelligence.

Will hid his abilities. We can guess he would have hated his teachers and only use his abilities to humiliate them. Teachers see kids like that as wise ass troublemakers, and suspect they cheat if they happen to do well on a test. Wasn’t he in and out of juvenile detention all of his youth too? Teachers in large, urban underfunded schools are going to be so overworked to notice that some troublemaker kid might be a secret Einstein.
He was Prof Lambeau’s favorite until Will came along. He represents the cream of the crop at MIT, a guy who got to do his phD with a superstar professor. That is until Will comes along and makes him appear like an ordinary hack. You need characters like for comparative purposes, or else it is hard to measure the scale of Will’s genius.
Reminded me of Squid Game.
^ Agree, boring and sad. Too many are programmed to give a knee jerk, two dimensional reaction to everything. It’s us v. them never we. Left v. right with nothing in the middle. Pure tribalism that is sending human civilization right back into the caves.
I will! If I ever get through GEB.
Why do people put the names of their favorite teams on their hats? Do we really need to know that?
“Wokeness” is the fast food bumpersticker of criticism. It is pure intellectual laziness to slap the word “woke” across something then mic drop and walk away. No, sorry that solves nothing. Why not explain the messaging in a film and how it aligns with one political agenda or another. Does it rise to level of propaganda? To what end? Why is that end detrimental to society?
Very heavy. I have to go Google many topics on a foundational level to get through some of the chapters.
^ agree. This isn’t about the opinions of the two characters and who has the better argument. It is a scene about Tar’s predatory personality. The student wasn’t offering his opinions on Bach or challenging her to a debate. He just stated his reason for not appreciating Bach when she kept badgering him to appreciate Bach. He chose to go to the lecture and sit in the front row. His fault. He didn’t choose to be the lecturer’s target for public humiliation. He was nervous, shaking kis knee. Anyone with a shred of kindness and humanity would have let him alone. She did the opposite. She sharpened her teeth and went in for the kill.
Also, she seemed to turn on him the second he said he chose Juilliard because it is “the best music academy in the country.” She went to the Curtis Institute. Why did she ask him that question? Maybe she was rejected by Juilliard or resents its reputation as the top music school. Her pride was off the charts. How many grown-ass, 50 yo women keep their childhood bedroom intact, like a shrine full of trophies and accolades?
Gödel, Escher and Bach. Taking a second shot at it, but reading it only on Sundays when I am well rested and have time to focus in on it.
