What just happened?! Is this happening? I'm soo grateful to Naval for introducing me to Brett Hall in one of his Clubhouse takeovers. And for Brett to bringing David Deutsch's and Karl Popper's philosophy of science, life, the universe and everything to light. I've been dropping comments to dozens of big KZread channels to ask them to discuss their big ideas with David... and now TIM FERRISS brought in DAVID AND NAVAL?!? Oh jeez, my guilty pleasure on the internet is is fantasizing being part of this round table. 😂 THANK YOU! ALL OF YOU!!

Babe wake up, new Naval pod just dropped!

Great quote here from David: “Rather than wanting to have learned something, I would recommend studying, or beginning to go into, something that looks interesting”

First time hearing David Deutsch’s voice and I’m definitely not let down! He sounds just as passionate about these topic as he comes across in his books.

One of the best conversations with David Deutsch I've listened to yet.

New naval is truly a rare gem

What a legendary podcast episode, Tim! ❤ It's unfortunate that there was no video. I wish you growth and many more conversations like this. Loved the episodes with Kevin Kelly, and Derek Sivers recently. You've been killing it!

Great podcast, it gets even better as you go deeper

Wow, perfect timing. Thank you Tim

Nice that you mentioned Brett Hall. He goes into marvelous depth explaining and reviewing David Deutsch's books and concepts, Karl Popper, and etc. I found his work a nice extension and illumination of these ideas.

Agree! It's intriguing to think about how the concept of truth could manifest across multiple universes. It's an interesting idea that the closer we are to the truth, the more of ourselves we could potentially discover in the multiverse.

Truth is all there is, it's infered to reflect that objective state of reality we humans can conceptualy deduce (entirely subjectively), but there isn't more or less of it anywhere. I'll have to try and listen to this one more time, but for all the praise it's receiving I'm surprised no one has given any feedback on how poorly structured so much of that Deutsch was saying was. Granted not everyone interviews well, but Tim should've perhaps asked an actual philosopher to help co-interview instead of a fan.

Please bring more of Naval on the podcast.

What a great way to start a productive day.

Takeaways: - We've theories and we have conjectures about them. We don't need experiments until there is some problem with the conjecture. - An explanation is a story that accounts for an event. - Science begins myths, good explanations begin by bad explanations. - A good explanation is one which is very hard to vary. Meaning that changing its variables does not require changing the explanation. - The only limitations that truly exist are the limitations of the laws of physics. - AGI is opposite to AI. In an AGI, the thinking product must be unpredictable as so is in human beings, but in an AI, the output is very predictable as the technology is only trained on limited data and limited data can only product predictable outputs.

Great conversation

Amazing. Thanks.

This is gonna be great!

Great!

This is one of those podcasts that I listen to and think, "the more people that hear this, the better off we will all be". Tim's got 1.22m subscribers as of today. This deserves at least 1m views. If anyone knows which Greg Egan book David was referring to around the 1h mark, that would be greatly appreciated.

“politicians and … trolls on the internet” 😂 remarkable how similar those two groups are. Great interview! (as expected)

After listening to naval, I wait for his next pod episode

How do you understand the Theory of Evolution which is based on a random change,then having to adapt to natural selection,all to be randomly changed again, and expecting the result to fit in with the highly ordered structure of the universe?

What are the 4 books that where recommended?

David Naval and Deutsch Ravikant

Wooooo this is going to be good

insanely good explanation of AGI vs AI and why we are far from it

Maybe if we got Deutsch, Wolfram and a future iteration of GPT together in a room, we'd get the whole thing sorted?

Fun fact re: "Chess player's trying to become world champion don't think about having a good game", I'm pretty sure that has been the hallmark of Magnus Carlsen's playing: He rarely goes for boring lines, and there are many examples of him passing on an almost certain and beneficial draw in order to try for an uncertain win. Sure, he doesn't play "for fun", but he seems to think there isn't any point in winning if the games aren't interesting. I don't think that's irrelevant to his success.

I find Donald Hoffmans ideas about the nature of consciousness more interesting, and more compelling. This discussion seems to exist within the confines of a purely materialistic paradigm. Rupert Sheldrake‘s ideas in this area are also very compelling.

Science has found, and will continue to find, an explanation for HOW things come to be in our universe governed by the laws of physics. Science will never explain why, this is where religion is born. I however, see and know all... that is the true power of the sharingan.

This is exactly what physisist dont understand , they say that religion is wrong because ultimately it explains things using a deity, but then they go and ultimately explain all using a written law.. which is the same thing.. when physicists understand this , theyll go to Pure Math , and there they will find that they can continue exploration , they can study the category of all physics laws possible and then understand that laws are just axioms nothing more..

Yet ‘God did it’ is no explanation whatsoever and nor is the backup claim that God knows everything and it’s beyond us. That’s stultifying and not explanatory either. So, at least, we’re at an impasse, but logic and epistemology seems to favour Deutsch’s argument, IMHO.

It's so funny to hear this discussion is already outdated by the advent of GPT-4. GPT-4 is a game changer. it has the common sense of a top percentile person in many domains. All it will take now is work to plug it into a robot and add a few other components, such as one that gives it agency. But it has common sense about dealing with the world. I disagree that today's systems that could be an AGI would be people. Thry would essentially be P-Zombies as they don't have the grounding of qualia, which contains feelings. It can have an integer value somewhere saying whether it feels good or bad, but this doesn't contain the essence of valence. It's mimicry. While we can build an AGI, it's much different than a sentient AGI.

The amount of solo audios and video conferences you are doing lately are really damaging the potential for even more stimulating conversations and the impact-fullness of the podcast

Another example could be why do people float in space, but they don't float on Earth. One possible theory somebody could have is that the gods are holding us up in space to float and they're not here on Earth to do that. David would say this is not a good explanation because you're immediately using the supernatural to explain it. Another possible explanation could be that there is a force that holds us to the ground on Earth that's not present in space. So, you just need to test the theory to make sure if it holds true. Obviously somebody has already figured that one out and the answer is gravity.

listening to this only cements my belief in God.

I laughed when the philosopher started talking about the end of toil... technology will improve things but will not end toil... if not physical toil then mental toil... because we as a society will not allow it... because then what would be the point of the 1%?...they'll never give up that power, and that power defines society ....this is where philosophers are dreaming happy thoughts in the clouds because it's always wrong and, perhaps uncharitably, is a hopeful lie they tell you.

I think you’re over interpreting his point on the matter. Wealth as a set of physical transforms can improve human life to an imaginable degree. This is clear if you look back in history at how the ever increasing pace of technological advancement has improved the way in which we live. We can imagine a world with little to no physical toil. But nothing was mentioned about ending all toil in the manner you interpreted.
