This is seriously a great talk. « Reality literacy » is a great term

Enjoyed the book. I had trouble with his free will argument - seemed to veer off topic - a cursory tussle with Sam Harris and Brian Green - and unconvincingly connected to our false presuppositions about space-time. But I’m equally aware of my own limitations fathoming this particular topic. Would love to read a dedicated shorter piece by Egginton on free will. Also, this book complements Donald Hoffmann’s “The Case Against Reality.” Thanks for the interview.

I liked GEB, but am shocked how few people mention ""I am a Strange Loop", I found it even more inspiring... And it was written since he felt no one understood GEB. ;)

That your shirt is the color of his room seems significant. Physics is beautiful because it isn’t or doesn’t need to be beautiful… or a maze made beautifully.
