We're made out of meat

Scott’s post about predictive processing led me to this book, which Scott reviewed in his post. I’ve only just started reading the preface, 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.”

The story continues here.

You can watch the story dramatized here.
