Sinopse
In this, our first show of 2017, things go in a different direction. Sort of. Peter and Steve talk about metaphor, artificial intelligence, bad brain theory, poetic license, and what happens when all you want to do is load yourself into a piece of silicon, and it turns out that's not how things work. Plus, healthy cells, brain science, and recommendations for the next couple of weeks ahead. Stuff mentioned: Robert Epstein, "The Empty Brain" Aeon, 18 May, 2016. Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn and Dr. Elissa Epel, The Telomere Effect (Grand Central, 2017). Arthur Herman, The Cave and the Light (Random House, 2014). Jean-Francois Revel, Matthieu Ricard, John Canti, Jack Miles, The Monk and the Philosopher (Schocken, 2000). Krista Tippett's podcast, On Being. Tippett's conversation with Anil Dash.
