The UK did the right thing leaving. It's plain to see that EU advocates (like this gentleman) engage in sophistry when talking about the topic, it's all idealistic fantasy when they attempt to say something positive. The EU and it's courts etc. when looked at as a package, simply allow for multinational bureaucracy to occur. Where people that nobody knows and nobody voted for make irrefutable decisions for everyone, quite literally blocking nation-states from taking actions in their own interests. It's insanity. Every economic policy and edict within the EU is designed to give more and more control to the EU and people nobody elected. Over time, this will only increase. These unelected politicians are paid by corporations to do, what they're told to do. The EU just gives them the privacy to be privately lobbied. The average person wants nation states with the ability to make local changes. The EU is a tool of private international corporations which allows them to override and overrule nation states. As a prime example, look that the Rwanda situation with attempting to deport illegal migrants. UK government drafts a deal, and has to be approved by the EU due to the UK being part of European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), ECtHR then blocks this deal from being able to occur. So the UK is unable to deport foreign men (data from the UK home office says it's mostly men, and they don't actually know how many illegals there are) ILLEGALLY coming into the UK, so they UK is stuck literally paying for hotels and feeding people who should be considered criminals.

Does Wolpert understand that philosophy and science were exactly the same thing in ancient times up until the twentieth century ? That in fact science, as a separate discipline -- aka, modern science -- grew out of philosophy ? He certainly appears clueless of both the history of both philosophy and science. Who is this guy and what exactly is his contribution to either philosophy or science ?
@alwaysgreatusa2233 ай бұрын
First of all, making the distinction between philosophy and science is itself philosophical. Science is not itself a subject for science, yet both philosophy and science are subjects for philosophy. Science studies the physical universe in general, but it does not study its own paradigms and methods in order to determine their limits and their veracity in producing sound scientific conclusions. Only in philosophy are the limits, the veracity, the ethics of science a subject for debate. Moreover, there are subjects of vital human importance that science simply can never adequately address -- not least of all human values, and the social and moral consequences of scientific discoveries themselves.

what I don't like is the seeming false dichotomy between representative government and the first-past-the-post voting system as it is in the UK. although the former doesn't meet popper's criterion, it is still better than the ladder. the ladder necessarily causes all but two parties to die, which results in two things: every voter can now only submit one bit of information with their vote every 4 years, which nullifies any possible advantage of popper's criterion. secondly, the established parties are much easier to be corrupt, since it takes a lobbyist to only pay two parties instead of 15 or so. of course, there actually exist more than theaw two options. score voting for example fixes the two-party flaw of the winner-takes-it-all system, but i haven't seen david talk about anything else but the difference between the two terrible systems.

David puts human knowledge (or sentient being knowledge) at the center of things. That's out of whack with the view of a physical universe in which we happened to evolve. David's many worlds take on quantum mechanics also shows his predilection for a human-level standard. That is, he thinks that we _can_ make sense of the universe at this level while most others think we should just "shut up and compute." There may not be a "right" or "wrong" here. It's more of a personal preference. We are in a goofy place in either case.

When I hear people like David Deutsch, I feel almost as if I had done the math to understand what they're saying. I don't think I will ever have what it takes to really understand all the underlying mathematics, however speculating like this still gives me a great image of what they're talking about. You can tell that in this dialogue, David made very concise and agreeable arguments that help you understand the conflict between different theories and methods of procedure in this field. Something that always gets me is that there seems to be a lot of potential lobying going on, which would in part be understandable due to the pressure and attention surrounding these topics. But again, I feel safe when I hear such competent, sane and well constructed arguments as David's. Gives the impression that he really knows what he's talking about although the discussion itself is about varying degrees uncertainty.

When I hear people like David Deutsch, I feel almost as if I had done the math to understand what they're saying. I don't think I will ever have what it takes to really understand all the underlying mathematics, however speculating like this still gives me a great image of what they're talking about. You can tell that in this dialogue, David made very concise and agreeable arguments that help you understand the conflict between different theories and methods of procedure in this field. Something that always gets me is that there seems to be a lot of potential lobying going on, which would in part be understandable due to the pressure and attention surrounding these topics. But again, I feel safe when I hear such competent, sane and well constructed arguments as David's. Gives the impression that he really knows what he's talking about although the discussion itself is about varying degrees uncertainty.
As someone living in the EU, I wonder has the UK abolished the tampon tax by now?
Yes on 1 January 2021
Constructor theory runs into the problem of irreducible computational complexity. You can't short-circuit Turing-complete computation.
Is the multiverse a bit like living in Australia?
If only you have your own Deutsch😂
Some set of incoherent words ... listened for 20 minutes and did not understand a single sentence...
Absolute no impact? At least one vote..?
I wouldn't try making little of David Deutch through the use of hidden agendas and that because David is one of the smartest persons alive. He has proper knowledge of knowledge, knowledge of knowledge of reality and for sure knows what he is talking about and is more aware than anyone iv ever came across in this day of age.
A bird can not be flapping its wings & still fly, it's called gliding. Choice is predestined, predestination is chosen!
I would like DD to comment on the situation as is.
Deutsch votes Brexit 👍
I prefer horror correction. What damage this inflicted on so many actual people I know for no single benefit.
If many worlds is true, then there are infinite number of universes branching out every instance. 1. Where are these universes coming from? 2. Where are they emerging into? This whole theory is bonkers.
The fabric of reality completely changed the way I thought about everything. In my book, David is the greatest living britain.
can you imagine instruments that 'see' into parallel worlds? somehow detect variables we have not imagined yet, a physics that is not so heavily skewed towards the way our evolved senses 'see' ... maybe this is a question about what deutch was alluding to re. when quantum computers are available.
If it weren't for Deutsch, no quantum computers would be available. He believes that if Turing and Everett had been taken seriously, quantum computers would have appeared 30 years earlier
