Episode notes

He talks about that there's the human mind can do certain mathematical things that the computer has defined by the universal Turing machine cannot. Do you think he's right? So is the human mind fundamentally more capable as a thinking machine than a universal Turing machine? No. Our minds are just able to discover these limit operators over too many parts to count. He thinks so. And that's because he thinks that our minds can do operations that have infinite resolution in some sense.
