great lecture

[jugglingcellos]

I am reading Gödel, Escher, Bach and the dialogue is called "crab canon". Also the name of a bach peice with the same idea of forwards and backwards paths. I can not post links, however it can be found by google searching the sentence "Achilles and the Tortoise happen upon each other in the park one day while strolling."

I guess the posting of the dialog would not have raised copyright issues, because of 2 main factors. 1. In context to education. 2. Not for profit use. Still, interesting talk. Love OCW.
