See also "The Beginning of Infinity" and consult the index for passages on computation and universality. For more, see "The Fabric of Reality" chapters 5 and 6 especially. Number 2 on that list above is "required extra reading" if my argument alone is not convincing. "The Nexus" - my video which goes into detail on the mystery of personhood and the science of what we know about this presently. David Deutsch's seminal historic paper that laid the foundations for quantum computation and which brought computation into physics. David Deutsch's speech from his Dirac Medal Award ceremony.
Michael Neilsen's article on the Church-Turing-Deutsch principle. I turn to Yaron for all things economics and individual rights and have great respect for him: indeed so much respect I bothered to spend hours making and editing this video.ġ. This is a video in response to this video by Yaron Brook. I hope this video serves as a useful companion to the book and to further investigations into "the land of counterfactuals" as some of the deep ideas are, I think, easy to miss for the casual reader. This is subtle and powerful stuff: a new unification which one might guess is going to direct the course of progress on many fronts. Marletto leads the reader gently through this landscape of physics and philosophy and so it is unsurprising some reviewers have not understood the profundity of the points made in the book as a whole let alone this chapter. This is a unique and very modern take on knowledge which brings epistemology within the scope of physics for the very first time. We leave behind ancient and modern subjective notions of knowledge (which still prevail in the academy, intellectual circles and even attempts to counter those trends in other traditions of counter-culture communities) and take seriously objective knowledge and then build on it. Here I make some quite lengthy introductory remarks laying out the standard academic takes when it comes to epistemology in order to set the scene for the most modern interpretation in our quest to refine our understandings of what knowledge is. This is cutting edge physics and epistemology from Chiara Marletto, following David Deutsch and working from and upon to advance the discoveries of Karl Popper.

Obviously this required quite some editing - this episode now holds the record for time-taken-to-edit. More than any other work, the contents of "The Beginning of Infinity" (BoI) have informed the content of this podcast, so in celebration of Episode 99 I set myself the challenge of taking on each chapter in sequence, retelling the main points of it in my own words (no readings from the actual book itself this time) and construct an episode as close as possible to 99 minutes long.
