Quoth: The Menacing Metaphor


O’Gieblyn’s key warning is that metaphors are “two-way streets.”... When we describe our minds using terms borrowed from computers, we begin to see our minds mirrored in computers, and we cease to value the parts of our minds that differ from computers.”

Ezra Klein, referring to Of God, Human, Animal, Machine by Meghan O’Gieblyn
