I feel that it is part of the normal distribution of the iq. It's hard to find people to talk about this topic, cuz there are few people able to do that. So, there is a correlation between hard topics and complex minds, harder the topic, harder to find someone who can. But if you are that intelligent, you are born with the responsability of being GOOD and to teach people why good is better than evil
How the hell can we put a percentage on our estimated knowledge on what's going in the universe? We have no reference, nothing! If I were to guess, I would go with the wisdom of Socrates: nothing or very, very close to the absolute zero. 🤔
they are mixing up things. the initial question was related to the fundamental questions of reality. but later they were also talking about details as part of the possible knowledge. here they/we should recognise the different truth categories. a priori vs a posteriori, analytic vs synthetic, fundamental vs applied etc. when we are looking for a priori, analytic and fundamental knowledge/truth (e.g. universal and timeless natural laws), the story is finite and converging. but when we are looking for a posteriori, synthetic and applied knowledge/truth (e.g. future event, human-made technology etc.). the former is related to the logic of reality (and to the source of existence) and it is finite, while the latter is related to the dynamics of reality (and to freedom) and it is infinite.
I wish I was better at math so I could understand this stuff better, like knowing some of the concepts is like only getting the outline of something to truly understand the shape you need to know the math.
That's not many worlds. The previous structures in history are like parallel universes/alternate realities and many worlds are different mini universes. An analogy is alternate realities are like the different cities in a state while many worlds are the different states in a country.
Knowledge can be vast but not infinite. For instance all of reality is inside of mathematics. Mathematics can be used to model anything. However everything that mathematics can model doesn’t necessarily exist in reality so reality is a set within mathematics. Now, in mathematics we have many infinites such as the set of real numbers but we can demonstrate this knowledge with a single symbol. So it is possible to represent sets of infinite things in finite ways and thus knowledge is finite and thus we can theoretically achieve all knowledge. Sure we can run into issues like we can never know the current state of all matter in the universe but that isn’t really an issue.
But - instantaneously infinite (once consciously acknowledged) but she like probably all, are merely prancing around monological ideas- …the mapper IS the territory..
I think the points out Lex's fundamental unjustified assumption at 3:08. His opening question assumes that the complexity of fundamental physics is finite, and not only finite but surveyable in principle by the human brain. Maybe it is; maybe it isn't, but there is zero objective evidence for this. Moreover, even if the complexity of basic _physics_ is finite, the fundamental mysteries of the universe are not physical but metaphysical: What breathed life into a particular set of equations and made them a universe, and why? And why does consciousness feel like *this*?). Whatever picked out _those_ equations and breathed life into them is more important than anything inside the universe; and (with apologies to Descartes) consciousness is the only thing we can be sure exists at all. So even if we understood 100% of physics -- if that is possible which there is no reason to think it is -- we would still not have moved at all toward an explanation for the most important thing there is, nor of the only thing we know to really exist. The assignment of man is to climb the mountain one step at a time without knowing how high it is, or if it has a top at all. And that's OK with me.
How many Lexs are there? Depending on the day. Do they wear yellow jackets... Oh man made my day. What a beautiful nerds are they. Love Them with all my Heart. Respect!!!
I wanted to know Sara's age. but I only found her resumé, and it wasn't even in there as far as I can tell... I am not a creep, just interested in her knowledge and she has quite an impressive cv, which is found on her university's website
Empathy was expensive to learn for young humanity. Money/Tech/Oil, spining FLAT (1 dimension of Time) inside a 3D sphere of Time - creates entropy in the direction of time. The past is destroying what we found out in our 20s...sad, sorry, shit. The future IS being destroyed by the past (all of us) that never grew up.
Humans are just avatars that animated by Souls and Spirits. So it's up to the individual to raise consciousness by tapping into the highest of the ALL that is ONE as I inner see it.
I watched the whole podcast and too often, it was esoteric and philosophical. Even the so-called Assembly Theory is nothing but words and has nothing to do with a real theory of explaining how life evolved on this planet. 🤦♂
Can there really be free will when we are preprogrammed to select based on pain avoidance? That's why masochism is a construct of deviance. And also, by her explanation free will then only belongs to the wealthy or at least not the poor. As most people couldn't afford to board a flight and exercise free will to apply choices of when and where to spend time. Such mechanisms then would indicate that by design free will is restricted more on some than others and this cannot be applied to the universe as a whole; and this is not a random background. Therefore someone else must be commandeering the steering wheel, and free will is a figment. A fish still needs water and a bird soar, I don't understand this clip. In theories of the universe science more than free will applies, if you had been discussing capitalism and I have several choices of ice cream to choose from and could afford any of them, then free will could be asserted upon selection. Unless there's another conversation to apply here, like the universal pope, the vicar of Christ, and Jesus is the end of everything and yada yada yada,,; then I guess I don't 🤬 understand reality.

She's inappropriately not just personifying, but self-identifying as, systems from which the dynamics that define her as an object are emergent. Basically she's making claims of strong emergence between consciousness will affecting quantum collapse... Aka the woo woo take on Copenhagen, which is sadly regressive.

Just writing out Pi would take an infinite book so the book of science is easily endless. As we learn more, it is analogous to writing out Pi to more decimal places, ie, the theories get more accurate or newer theories are more accurate approximations of what reality is.
Pi is not a real thing. Nothing that is infinite can be computed or materialised. Pi is an algorithm that generates and endless stream of digits. You can therfore define Pi accurately and finitely as a description of the algorithm. You don't need to (and indeed cannot) unroll all it's digits.
I can’t follow her schtick. What is it? Time is bigger than space? And conscious beings are enormous in time? I don’t remember what I had for breakfast mate.
The world will be much simplier if people would really make a distiction betweeen knowing and believing something 😅 don t turn science in religion , for me science is teste knwolegde , we know at what temperatura water is boiling or freezing, that s science ... 😅 please guys make a clear disctiction between knowing and beliving something 😅
Sara Walker is obviously beyond brilliant, but this nonsense about freewill is just that, nonsense. Whether or not things are random at the quantum level and then emerge into a deterministic state is irrelevant! Freewill?! Free from WHAT?! If the world is random at bottom, all consecutive states are the product of randomness- ergo, no freewill! If the world is deterministic and everything follows a predictable and unavoidable state, things are unavoidable- ergo, no freewill! If it is some combination of BOTH- NO FREEWILL! Freewill is nothing but a concept and it has more to do with the quality of what it FEELS like to be a thinking feeling organism! Freewill has absolutely nothing to do with what is true about the world on a fundamental level, and is, in my view, something of an illusion. I exercised no more freedom in writing THIS than a Z particle exercises freedom in decaying into a muon or anti-muon. Random or not, no freewill!
Saying, feeling, believing, or trying to prove that people do not have free will (two words, not one.. DUH), is just an excuse for psychopaths with authority to let other psychopaths out of jail so that they can hurt more innocent people. It's just hoax so people can feel better about their decisions to hurt other people and allow people to hurt other people. It's just a cop-out for insane legislation and insane thought processies.
There is NO freewill on a fundamental level, but there are and should be consequences for whatever is considered harmful within certain social construct. Drunken person who acts literally by reptile brains still goes to jail... Yet any dog with even better brains than reptile gets away with anything and again it's a human owner who pays the fines or goes to jail. My point is that freewill and accountability is two different separate things, people still get prosecuted for consequences done with or without freewill.
What even is it that has freedom? Who is choosing? Point to the action and mechanism of choice, please. It's an invalid question based on a delusion of self.
Agree. Our consciousness is really more of an experience, like watching tv. The idea that we are free to choose from equal, lesser or greater courses is laughable. Only the 'greater' option makes any sense but that is deterministic and thus not an option at all. Missing from the conversation is a coherent conception of moral purpose for humanity. Our quest to merely exist indefinitely is deeply unsatisfying.
Very pretty, but talks like she and by extensions us (all mankind) knows way more then we truly do, and supposes things that are only theories as if they’ve been proven to be facts like the basic laws of Physics. It’s not just her that is like this, but yes, unimpressed. I think she needs to be more concerned with being honest with herself than merely parroting others before her.
From 630… out of probabilistic chaos causal structure emerges… the cement sets - the “free will” coagulates irreversibly … or maybe deep states of meditation / ayahuasca can be detours back thru the primordial diffusion

beautiful moment witnessing the mating ritual of the geeky nerd
Nice
😅😂🤣
the conversation i wish i could have with any friend. good reality talk
You hit the normies with the reality talk and all you get back is "oh," "damn" or if they're trying hard, "that's crazy."

Too few conversations like this occur in life
Lovely young woman. And a breathe of fresh air. Thank you for your time.
Tail-bone-Earthlings in general,
don't understand reality, yet,
but when they becoming Real Humans
they will.
It is all about Development.
Whatever claims you are making about what this conversation is about, it’s really only about 2 people falling in love.

To me, it seems like she's flirting with Lex. Lex is a handsome, intelligent man. She likes him, good for. I hope they hit it off.
Jealous much????😡
She’s married.
Sara Walker is one of the most important physicists we have.... THANKS AGAIN LEX !! for ANOTHER INCREDIBLE GUEST, with phenomenal insight.
👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤

We all have intuition hardwired into us, at least?
8:00 she's describing the 1 minute $SPY chart and then she's collapsing the into the daily chart.
"I think we're being recursive."
Laughs.
Loudly.

One of the more likable physicists I've seen.

She's explaining a recent DMT trip i had from 6:30 or so on...

continuous/discrete, inifinite/finite, chaos/order are dualities, delusions of mind, reality is nondual, there can be only One.
Humanity is so unstable we probably will not have a million years of life span. It seems a conversation in a bizarre date. Still happy to see it.

Dr. Sean Carroll is right about many worlds… however being wrong is what I do best.

The best physicists premise their answers with "We don't know yet, but...". Otherwise it all sounds a bit woooo and invites the charlatans in.
