Godel, Escher, Bach is a "suggestion he's considering". How the fuck are you a stem dork who hasn't read that book yet? He's poorly read even for a stem person, lmao.
It's more that a lot of things rely on self referential loops and that's kind of cool but yeah it's a clever book but I've read more complex even for the STEM Dork crowd (Hardest STEM dork book was probably Road to Reality by Penrose, where I stalled on several chapters for weeks at a time)

I think it's because he's largely a fake stem dork
I've read that book and all I got from it was like "what if the cool part of music was that it's actually algebra"
Yeah, the target audience is very much 19 year old STEM students. Most people pretty much grow out of it after that.
