Show Notes
Michael and Karen discuss data compression and cybersecurity as a lens to view language, memory, relationship and consciousness, and in the process stumble upon C. S. Lewis, Jordan Peterson's Maps of Meaning, and Owen Barfield.
Propaganda 1) as a false dichotomy 2) as a Zip Bomb or a destroyer of worlds
The Mandelbrot Set as a picture of the limits of stability, the border between order and chaos in its infinite complexity
Words as containers for meaning
Owen Barfield's The History of Words (words have souls)
