Professor Paul Bailes, a professor of computer science, discusses how coding is deeply philosophical, like Aristotle framing reality. During our chat we explore logic’s limits through Gödel’s theorems and classic paradoxes, then turn to AI’s rise—automating coding, exams, and desk jobs while sparing touch-based roles like dentistry. 

If machines handle most “useful” work, what defines human worth? 

Professor Bailes critiques pure utility, notes original sin’s everyday selfishness, and warns elites might see people as obsolete. He draws parallels to the secret Manhattan Project and hidden modern tech like drones and gait recognition.
