86: Pure Language Simulation [May 22, 2014]

Tom comes from the new space with his cat's return. Heron wants to explore the language monkey simulation. Get yourself comfortable for this one folks. Bob Mottram raised a point on net neutrality that merits further discussion. Heron want his display already. H. R. Giger features briefly and Tom talks about why he didn't like William Gibson from the first documentary (http://youtu.be/wbp6G8do2_E). Tom mentions Kirsh's embedded philosophy (http://adrenaline.ucsd.edu/kirsh/Articles/Earwig/earwig-cleaned.html). Tom needs to return to something applied in the discussions (http://nobleape.com/man/philosophic.html). There's a break in the philosophical discussion to talk about updating electrical systems. The return to the idea of a purely language simulation.
