David Deutsch in "Fabric of Reality" nails it. If you had a magic oracle (alien tech, AI, digital twin) that perfectly predicts the observed outcome of every experiment, you would still face the question of what experiment to perform next. That requires theoretical concepts and good explanations of reality that can be falsified experimentally. Predictions are a method of science, not a goal or purpose. #science #philosophy #physics #daviddeutsch

When I First Read Deutsch, I Didn’t Quite Get It
“For the state of the art on the #Philosophy of knowledge, which people call #Epistemology, you can basically skip everything and jump straight to #DavidDeutsch.” — #Naval

Interesting podcast if you want to keep up-to-date with the #Physics world (of which I’m a long term novice!)
Most recent episode on the ‘Universal Connector’ with favorite #DavidDeutsch
"Could we build a machine that can carry out any task? The meta-framework "Constructor Theory" suggests we might be able to make such a universal constructor. David Deutsch discusses the implications of such a machine for physics, for the economy, and for humans. Deutsch also talks about problems in funding for fundamental physics”

Infinity was not a popular concept back in the day 🤔 New ideas, even obvious ones, can be difficult to accept.
“Cantor’s discoveries encountered vitriolic opposition among his contemporaries, including most mathematicians of the day and also many scientists, philosophers – and theologians. Religious objections, ironically, were in effect based on the Principle of Mediocrity.”

Excerpt From The Beginning of Infinity by #DavidDeutsch
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity -
Evolution favors survival of the genes over survival of the fittest.
“#Evolution can even favour genes that are not just suboptimal, but wholly harmful to the species and all its individuals. A famous example is the peacock’s large, colourful tail, which is believed to diminish the bird’s viability by making it harder to evade predators, and to have no useful function at all.”

“Science continues to make progress even, or especially, after making great discoveries, because the discoveries themselves reveal further problems.
Therefore the existence of an unsolved problem in physics is no more evidence for a supernatural explanation than the existence of an unsolved crime is evidence that a ghost committed it.”
Excerpt From
The Beginning of #Infinity by #DavidDeutsch -
@JennaMPink The Beginning of #Infinity by #DavidDeutsch

“Our history and politics, our science, art and philosophy, our aspirations and moral values – all these are tiny side effects of a supernova explosion a few billion years ago, which could be extinguished tomorrow by another such explosion.”

“Human attributes, like those of all other organisms, evolved under natural selection in an ancestral environment. That is why our senses are adapted to detecting things like the colours and smell of fruit, or the sound of a predator: being able to detect such things gave our ancestors a better chance of surviving to have offspring…evolution did not waste our resources on detecting phenomena that were never relevant to our survival”

“We are an uncommon form of ordinary matter.
The commonest form is plasma (atoms dissociated into their electrically charged components), which typically emits bright, visible light because it is in stars, which are rather hot.
We scums are mainly infra-red emitters because we contain liquids and complex chemicals which can exist only at a much lower range of temperatures.”

From a must-read book:
“#AntiAnthropocentrism has increasingly been elevated to the status of a universal principle, sometimes called the ‘#PrincipleOfMediocrity’: there is nothing significant about humans (in the #CosmicScheme of things).
As the physicist #StephenHawking put it, #humans are ‘just a chemical scum on the surface of a typical planet that’s in orbit round a typical star on the outskirts of a typical galaxy’.”

“There are ‘meetings of minds’ one waits for. When #SamHarris chatted to #DavidDeutsch. When #DouglasMurray speaks to #JordanPeterson. It’s where people align seemingly very closely and then we find those small places where they disagree.”
