Cognitive scientist, author of [[G�del, Escher, Bach]] and first publisher of the phrase "glorked from context".



I would add "dilettante in music and translation theory", but that would display my own prejudices. Nonetheless, Hofstadter is a Geek Favourite, and many of his preoccupations are held in common with a broad cross-section of Lojbanists. -- nitcion.
