Book - Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid

In this video, I go over the GEB's ideas related to self-reference, computer science, formal systems, and strange loops, but I didn’t talk about the link with Bach nor the exploration of meaning and how meaning is created. Also not mentioned in this video, the book discusses Artificial Intelligence, although this section is a little bit dated, as AI research has progressed quite a bit since the 1970s.
On the whole, this video is to be taken as a taster of the book and some of the ideas it explores, rather than a ‘correct’ or faithful explanation of them. If you notice any misunderstandings I’ve communicated in the video, please comment below, as I don’t want to unintentionally create any misunderstandings of any ideas in people’s minds.

Nice content and cool souvenir! I got the german version in around 1986 and consider it as one very influencal books among others during my youth, which made me study philosophy and natural sciences later on in my life.
