"If you try to say well it has to be hard and if you have a stooge like anybody can do that" "I'm gonna ask a final question yeah if you splice this into the podcast at an earlier time i've cheated on the podcast right is it a podcast?" Join us next time on very bad wizards they think they've lost with no more brains than you have anybody can have a brain.
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.
