"Rest or coffee breaks, defined as 20 minutes or less, are compensable hours worked under 29 C.F.R. 785.18, since they are regarded as being for the benefit of both the employer and the employee."
I mean would you say the same of S.B.F of FTX who was playing league of legends while on the clock?
If everything were running smoothly there would be no reason to look. But if mistakes are getting made while on the job, could it be because an individual is doing more than the job description?
Hegel and Hofstadter seem to be trying to find "spirit". To keep it simple, spirit can be defined by the "I" aka self-consciousness (but it could also be an ant colony, the Church, the State, the biosphere, etc... all the way up to "God").
Hegel tries to notice the becoming of the notion of the Concept (which could be noticed as the basic thought-tool) into (and through) the notion of the "I".
Hofstadter is trying to do something similar but instead of the Concept as the base (or starting point), he uses the Axiom. Hofstadter then tries to discover if "I" (or "spirit") can emerge from a system of axioms.
Please Note: In order to keep it short I gloss over about 1500 pages of Hegel's & Hofstadter's works.
Anyone read the Phenomenology of Spirit and notice the same ideas?
