Erling and I discussed the madness of mathematicians (e.g., Gödel, Cantor), and it seems this is common knowledge. I told him I was writing a story about a person who tries to extract meaningful texts from irrational numbers. We had a laugh. I've been reading Tor Nørretranders' book The User Illusion, more of which later. The information of information theory is a very strange concept to wrap one's noodle around.
