What is it Like to Be a Bat?
Recently I have read a much-cited paper by NYU professor Thomas Nagel titled What is it Like to Be a Bat? I was reading it on the advise of the professor supervising my undergraduate independent research project on connectionism and embodiment. The paper is interesting but also interesting is what I found when I searched the web for the title.
There exists a band called What is It Like to be a Bat? that does some really wild techno-punk music. The band leader is also a professor. The website has a lot of very confusing descriptions of what the band is and has done (high-art pop??). Still it really is an interesting concept.
What can I say: In my private Idaho there are professors forming strange bands named after the strange papers of other professors.
