In the range of Ted speakers, David is an anomaly in the very highest tier. He’s genuinely a living genius.

How grateful i would be to have DD as my tutor or mentor. Been a fan since he published he published "Fabric" amd spoke about Popper His epistemology and tutelage appies to every reasonable person. Forever grateful to you, David.

He has a seriously talented skill at describing very complex issues into simple thought inspiring topics.

Just wonderful. Every time I listen to David Deutsche, I feel as if my mind starts to expand and the ideas and thoughts are still trickling through a few days later..

Agreed! David's quantum work is truly ground breaking! To answer your question though: "How is his stuff not more widely known?" School, TV, Sports, kids, self-medication, celebrity, slavery, fear, fatigue, mental lethargy & other distractions... in others words, "boobs beer babes and baseball" combine with overwork and bad education to dumb people down. Even if they want to learn, they're too tired from working or raising kids to read, research or experiment. This medium is changing that!

Deutsch is right on the money regarding epistemology. Brilliant mind

David Deutsch is a brilliant thinker. How is his stuff not more widely known!

A speech fitting for a galactic gathering.

11:18...we face a paradox, the more we create knowledge the less we KNOW about our future....as ideas change our lives, it becomes ever more necessary to plan for that effect. 12:47...the exponential growth of knowledge involves an exponentially increasing rate of unforeseen mistakes... we need to prepare with contingencies, for these mistakes will be dominated with knowledge we don't yet have or ignorance we don't yet know about... 13:22....the power of explanatory knowledge...because some explanations do reach beyond the planning horizon... 15:55...the power of explanatory knowledge and the desire to create it.

This guy comes on tedx as a live video feed! Look at this power..

Good to hear TED talks as they used to be, before it was overrun by political activism and ideology.

The more you know, the more you know about what you don't know. To know everything, you must be everywhere at all time...

explanatory knowledge.

Superb 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The future has always been unknowable. Technologically things were stable but socially/economically things evolved fast and depended almost as much as today on knowledge creation. The evolution of social, political, economic systems has immense impact on people's lives as well as technological innovation. Human creativity was always the dominant factor in people's lives from the dawn of civilisation

supahacks, I too did a double-take on that bit. I tried to explain it by saying that people have an ethical opposition to the destruction of the ozone layer (SST exhaust did a bit of that) and their assessment of the benefits of getting there a bit faster relative to the cost led them to reject SST. As DD said, what happens depends on what people want, what the laws of nature allows, and what knowledge we have.
