I've started reading Godel Esher Bach: an endless golden braid. What I was actully looking for was a book on braid theory, because thats what topological quantum computers run on (Anyons obey the Pauli exclusion principle, so you can braid them). So far, what I've learnt is this:

The first rule of the theory of types is that you do not talk about the theory of types.

So I was going to reply to lucykp's comment in this entry,

with something like "Nihilistic philosophy goes well with insipid dead eyed cartoon characters.", but then I decided that I should test the theory by producing Garfield minus Garfield plus Kafka.

Today I got as far as making one, as a sort of proof-of-concept:

then I saw this strip:

Which I misread as "I have you figured out. You refuse to take your life because you're afraid of failure." So now I have abandoned the effort for the obvious reason that Kafka was far to cheerful for Garfield
