#selfReferential Douglas Hofstadter - reviews his career on YouTube. Fascinating. Frightening. Original Godel, Escher, Bach author starts with self reference issues. (My thought: are not many of my thoughts referencing myself? Is my brain just a problematic self referential machine? Or is my ‘conscious self’ just observing the output of my subconscious? … this leads to headaches) Then Douglas addresses AI: he is frightened - it tears down many of his cherished beliefs about humanity. 😳

"Okay, but how can we make it less a statement of the world as it is an more meta (of itself, #selfReferential)."
