I was a huge fellow sign like in literature class in high school. I was like, the cat doesn't mean shit. Like that's it's just art. That's just how an artist would work. You do need somebody to like almost shake you out of it, you know, like slap you like like if someone does in an old movie to a woman. But is this a post modern view of some sort? I don't think so. It's just like the normal view and a lot of people aren't aware of it.
In this podcast we examine a recent argument for the view that chess is not, in fact, a game. We discuss the Grasshopper’s claim that all games must have a prelusory goal, as well as Skepticus’ objection to the giant Grasshopper concerning chess. We then turn to a broader analysis of the Suitsian account of games. Does the existence of illusory checkmates offer Grasshopper an avenue for replying to Skepticus? Should we bite the bullet and agree that chess is not a game? What is a lusory attitude? Is Tamler losing his mind? Why is David so giddy?
Plus – how should Arthur C. Clarke’s novel "2001: A Space Odyssey" affect our understanding of Kubrick’s movie? And a little more on Kanye.
