We're made out of meat

This post of Scott’s about predictive processing led me to this book which Scott reviewed in his post. I’ve only just started reading the preface to the book, and it’s already awesome if only for citing this short story by Terry Bisson.

THEY’RE MADE OUT OF MEAT

“They’re made out of meat.”

“Meat?”

“Meat. They’re made out of meat.”

“Meat?”

“There’s no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They’re completely meat.”

You can watch the story dramatized by the author here.
