What in tarnation are you talking about? Is this one of those idiotic gotchas Christians do where if you admit to not knowing something it means you’re secretly a theist?

Neuroscience is examining how the mind works. Pretty basic stuff anon.

I honestly loved it. Years since I read it and it still runs through my head. The record player that can destroy itself with the right record. Gödel numbering. So many things I knew nothing about before reading it. I suppose I am a pseud in a lot of ways, but it really changed my understanding of logic and mathematics.

There's not many instances where I would do this but I had to enter the thread and defend Bach from slanderers. Try listening to Gould's 1955 Goldberg Variations (probably the most accessible incarnation of one of his major works) before spouting off immature opinions that reflect poorly on our species as a whole.
