i think the assumption when you're talking about whether a hot dog is a sandwich is that okay i mean there's not like this is some kind of fact that could be discoverable through research. but why not say like take that tweet thread and unpack it and and write it you know albeit poorly like in a real paper? I defer to you certainly if not then i've been making a fool after that so uh two ways in which you've discovered you might be crazy yeah I just don't know what they think would like be the truth maker.
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.
