Zengineering: A Philosophy of Science, Technology, Art & Engineering
019 - On Uncomfortable Silence, and Star Wars Simulation Theory
27 Sep 2016
What’s up Zengineers!? It’s been crazy over here, but we owe you an episode, so Brian is Skyping in from the road. Sorry if it sounds a bit wonky. Anyway, this week we’re talking about using canned responses to avoid uncomfortable silences, why the Star Wars API proves we’re living in a simulation, and we reveal how many (or few) Star Wars characters we can think of off the top of our heads.
