HPR3568: PopKorn Episode 2: Programming, Mathematics, and Asymmetric Literacy

Talking Points

• Any audio is better than no audio?
• Mathematics = Logic
• ZFC Axioms show logical structure
• Peano Axioms illustrating this point
• Euclid's Axioms showing how just because something is logical doesn't mean that has anything to do with reality
• x86 Instruction set showing the axiomatic basis of programming
• Asymmetric Literacy in Chinese languages.
• NOTE: This section is slightly incorrect in that there is a separate written form for Cantonese as well, but I hope that the main idea is still intelligible.
