I couldn't piece together the robot story correctly, so E.G. did it for me.
Preface is that they saw this absolutely huge wasp sort of creature -- must've been an actual wasp, yellow and black and wasp-waisted and everything -- and were speculating about what it was. They were tossing around "queen bee?" then "king bee?" and then E.G. said, "Maybe it's a robot come to take over the worrrrlld..!"
E.G. wrote:Sozlet said, no, it's not a robot, after thinking for a moment.
I asked her how she knew, and she said that a part of her brain
could tell if something was true or not. After more questioning,
what came out is that this part of her brain is special, and it's
in the front. There's a man there, and he has something like a
movie projector. If another part of her brain hears something,
and can't figure out if it's true or not, then she gives it to
the man, who puts it in the projector and checks whether it is
true or not, and then tells her. Apparently, she has complete
confidence in his judgments.
Other parts of her brain can handle things that are a mixture of
true and untrue, like imaginary. I think the back of her brain
is where the imagination part is.
I asked her how she knew all this stuff, and she said that she
just figured it out. Nobody told her.
Later, I asked her if she liked to think about thinking. She
thought it was sort of a nonsensical question, so instead I asked
her what she thought about when she was alone. She said that
she likes to make up stories for herself. _Weird_ stories.
There was something else more subtle that I can't remember about stuff that is a mixture. Like, how something can be partly true and partly not true at the same time. Interesting stuff.
OK, I just asked her about that, and got something like this:
There is a little thermometer, like that one we have [meat thermometer?] yes!, and it has parts to it, and one part is blue and that's true, and one part is red and that's not true, and then the middle part is purple and that's sort of true and sort of not true.
[where is this thermometer?]
It's right inside that guy's studio.
[That one's a direct quote, uttered without hesitation.]
