❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for developing this platform for bringing together philosophy and physics. I like the idea of Natural Philosophy. All Science is either Physics or Stamp Collecting made me laugh. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A bit of correction: 14:34 It was 1946 (not 1840 of course) when the US sent a captured V-2 rocket and made the first photo of the Earth. Correction part 2. NASA was founded in 1958.
Great to hear from Geoffrey West. I still do not know the need to call this a "natural philosophy" lecture series. I am already annoyed with the unnecessary use of the word - "philosophy" . Then I heard West talk about Life in general and I was not annoyed anymore. Thank you, Johns Hopkins University for arranging this. 🙏🏽
Excellent talk! Thank You! Of special interest is the individual and social damage caused by the need to adopt to new things in an accelerated way which is causally related to the ask for myths of symplicity and autocracy! Yours Stefan Geier, Haidholzen
Great lecture, and "Scale" was extremely compelling reading. RE: "We avoided a singularity in the '70s..." My takeaway: given that anthropic behaviors are dependent on the underlying thermodynamics (energy exploitation), contra Malthus, the epiphenomenal activity will continue to grow SO LONG AS there's increasingly innovative ways of exploiting the underlying thermodynamic situation. Of note, I think Dr. West says that first comes stagnation, then collapse. The question then becomes: Will we be able to continue to innovate our way out of collapse? Worth considering: As I understand it, Moore's Law held...until it didn't.

Can we take a second to appreciate that they took the effort to overlay the slides over the video and that the audio is fantastic!

Sean Caroll came up with the use of the term here, I think!
We will have to learn and evolve to live by life force and inner light. “In the outer darkness there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
Beautiful lecture
Great talk, but speakers should really get a wifi lapel microphone

Love this idea and excited for these lectures.

:D Yes yes, Geoffrey West work will be crucial to the future understanding.

Dang, audio is below YT norm and I'm straining to hear on my laptop.

Is there a point at which it all becomes lawless as we've experienced it?
Those interested in thus tak should may wish to look up Nate Hagens.
Interesting...now what to do with all these graphs....
There have always been famines. Periodically nature cleans house.

Maybe it is not Darwinian fitness but Intelligent design.
