Inside Jokes: Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind

A lot of my thinking in JUST DESERTS was indirectly inspired by Matthew Hurley, the principal author of INSIDE JOKES, our under-appreciated book about reverse-engineering the mind. MIT Press 2011. Read them both and learn and laugh.

Another strong review of Charlotte Dennett's NEW BOOK: "The Crash of Flight 3804 is a remarkable and ultimately heartrending story, which will make readers forget that there ever was this other writer named Tom Clancy." https://t.co/dlMnlrmG2c

@nescio13 Peter Godfrey-Smith's METAZOA. Beautifully written and full of excellent details on the evolution of minds. I have only a few minor reservations about the tactics he uses to open minds. His view is close to mine and I think we can close the gap thanks to his advances!
