Fear not! ToKCast is not becoming a pure Q&A "show". This is literally a kind of "break" for me that I find easy and I note the listeners find fun. Today's a little shorter and - here's some of the topics covered! 00:00: David Deutsch mentioned on Lex Fridman 04:15: Dennis Noble debates Richard Dawkins on the selfish gene 16:47: The goal driven life and AI 27:51 Self similarity - minds and universes 34:39: The hard problem of consciousness and Popperian epistemology 41:30: Wave particle duality 53:53 The fun criterion - and some reflections on responsibility and “toil”. 1:05:44 - Communication and the difficulty thereof between people 1:07:13 - Roger Penrose and the universality of (quantum) computation (or Taking Theories Seriously…) 1:13:35 Book recommendations.
