- davidhyde 6y agoCan anyone point to a longer cut of that video? Seems like they missed a pretty interesting bit at the end!
- happytoexplain 6y agoNot a longer cut, but this is the video about the thing he would "most like to know", if that's what you're referring to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOCe5HUObD4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOCe5HUObD4
- JKCalhoun 6y agoInteresting bits (to me anyway): John Von Neuman and the colonization of Mars [0], the Halting Problem [1]. Love the rabbit holes....

- gorgoiler 6y agoThanks for the post. There’s a depth to Conway talking about his most commonly known piece of work, and his reactions to it, that gives one a lot to think about. Also, this is the second time this weekend that I’ve heard John Conway refer to Scientific American. I used to be a regular reader some twenty years or so ago. Is it worth looking into again?
