The Stuff of Thought – Just finished it. Excellent work, however extremely abstract. It helps balance practical knowledge with scientific understanding of how the mind’s lingua franca expresses itself. Still, do not enter without a dictionary or a 50,000 word vocabulary – words such as milleu, juxtapose, recapitulate, and abjure are all here, used properly mind you, but not exactly 12-grade level language.
The funniest quote from that book: “Time is nature’s way to keep everything from happening at once, and space is nature’s way to keep everything from happening to me“.
