I used to just hang out, unenrolled at various collage/university libraries, or just on the grounds, chatting with students who were enrolled in various subjects, and some professors would either just allow me to sit in class, or not even know that I was not a formal student. This was some great fun and a lot of freedom to meet people from many backgrounds and varying modes of thought. If you start reading whatever interests you, and you insert yourself, you may find it easier that you think to meet the people and have the discussions that you want.

A physical law, scientific law, or a law of nature is a scientific generalization based on empirical observations of physical behavior. They are typically conclusions based on repeated scientific experiments over many years, and which have become accepted universally by scientist because our collective consciousness agreed on certain physical law that made sense to most physicist society so it became the law . are we creating or discovering physical laws ?

Considering our understanding of the Universe and the laws that govern it can really only be described as still being in it's infancy, this shouldn't come as a surprise. Relatively speaking, we've only just barely stepped out of the cave and started stacking rocks as a species. Anyone who thinks humans have anything reliably figured out, with any degree of immutable certainty, is guilty of hubris.
What a beautiful communicator and new theories on life in the Universe. So refreshing and so much better than others you had on recently. Sara is solid!!!

She talked about her kids! Come on, they are fun in discussion..but....
The most fascinating thing I take from these talks is in the comments. Every episode someone states that this is the most best conversation they have ever heard. This means that you have changed the way at least 1 person thinks in every episode. That is amazing to me and should give you great cause to continue to upload these and keep having interesting conversations. Maybe one of the people watching some of these talk will go on to change the world or discover the answers to some of the questions you and your guests bring up.
She's brilliant. Her articulated glimpses into the profoundly complex probabilities seen through limited experience, her explanations relate well to my own ruminations.

Lex, you are doing a great job. You should not be so hard on yourself. I think in the long term your job will ne remembered more in net positive than Joe Rogan's or any other podcaster. I admire your strive to bring scientific discourses to general public. There are many exciting and thrilling questions being discussed on your podcasts.

Personally I think the comparisons and fictional VS scenario between Rogan and Lexs podcast really immature. They are and always have been completely different podcasts. And I believe they have both been in the net positive massively for the entire world. In matter of fact they may well have not been one without the other. So whilst I get the comparisons on a surface level, it doesn't need much undoing.
Loved this conversation. It's wonderful that Sara is not an outcast for exploring these complex questions in these "hard to communicate" directions. One day Rupert Sheldrake will be acknowledged for his intimations about life.
I love her emphasis on asking the right questions. It was the same advice I got from my most influential mentor
I love this discussion about existence and the words we use to describe it.
What a beautiful exchange between the two of you. Your interaction gives me hope for future generations. Thank you!
Thank you to Sara and you pondering these particular questions. May Life, indeed, eternally go on.
I need to be more active on the subreddit. The different faces lex makes while listening to his guests are whole moods, they’re so personal.

Your convo at 1:48 about life and death is perfect, 40 something. Just like Sarah says her sense of time is causal, nature is all consequences and doesn't care about life/death. The suffering involved in our finite nature is actually a threshold to cross and free yourself even more. After you wake up out of trance of purpose, you may not have driving questions, but you might also be able to be content. A bird flies into my hand at the top of a mountain. After I die, I am no longer tethered to this bodymind, but all my material and spiritual energy remains here. The piece you may not get is there is a field of unconditional loving that is here, and this field is bigger than the loneliness you talk about here. Cnscsnss is infinitely creative. Beautiful convo
This girl is amazing. I feel I'm finally starting to form a grasp of where "we currently are" at the current time. (Don't let me fool you, I'm no where close.) This stuff is getting deep Lex!
sounds like life is chemistry that recognizes that it needs something else to maintain, develop or grow
This was a freakin' awesome conversation. THANK YOU BOTH!
It seems to me that if life existed anywhere within this galaxy, and achieved at least our level of technical development within the last, say, million years; their radio-transmissions should have been detected as soon as we began setting up radio receivers here on Earth. The silence is overwhelming.
This and the talk with Robin Hanson are simply incredible. Thanks Dr. and thanks Lex.
