I think I laughed out loud when I saw the first book of his(*) in a shop
and knew I had to read it just from the title
"Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things"
(*)OK, co-written

Philosophy in the Flesh - wow - that takes me back a long way. Amazon says
I ordered it in 2001. I thought it was even earlier than that. My copy is
in storage somewhere so I can't browse through it now. Lakoff has many
books that are good reading. If you don't realize how deeply important
metaphors are in everyday thinking and speaking, go out and get one or
another of them.

Thanks for all your comments. Despite the OMG nature of the summary, I
remain deeply skeptical about AI.
Imo, it's a continuing challenge to remember the utterly alien nature of
AI. They have no human bodies, emotions, or experiences. They are unlikely
to serve us humanely. Instead, they serve their billionaire masters. See

For a discussion of what the embodied mind entails, I recommend George
Lakoff's Philosophy in the Flesh
