"Claims that the standard procedure for testing scientific theories is inapplicable to Everettian quantum theory, and hence that the theory is untestable, are due to misconceptions about probability and about the logic of experimental

Popper's criterion in a vacuum could seem to be exclusionary, but his philosophy of science involves his underrated idea of evolutionary epistemology. That all theories, seemingly pseudoscientific and the rest, compete to explain som

He didn't explain why we can't make a "beefy" nuclear option. It's also the option I would have expected, especially when you think of nuclear subs.

There are no resource limits, only limits to the creativity of people to create explanations that allow us to transform raw materials from one state to another. See The Beginning of Infinity by Deutsch and More From Less by McAfee.

For the clearest and most precise view of Deutsch's philosophy of science in the context of quantum theory, read his paper The logic of experimental tests, particularly of Everettian quantum theory: https://www.sciencedirect

It's amazing work. Building from his work around The Beginning of Infinity, and The Fabric of Reality (1997), which Naval has been doing a podcast on: https://nav.al/agi

Because most school is forced knowledge work on problems that don't fit the person's problem situation. When people are free, they learn the math they need for the problems they are trying to solve. Traditional, compulsory school

It's an amazing book. Best popular science book next to his other book, The Beginning of Infinity. Naval's, Ravikant Capital's Technical Advisor Brett Hall does an amazing unpacking of the book on his youtube/podcast: h

I don't think he has attempted to fold epistemology into physics or has a deep understanding of evolutionary epistemology and how it connects with computation or mechanics.

David Deutsch is the only person who has a theory of everything, not just for mechanics. He connects quantum theory (he wrote the first quantum algorithm), evolution (of genes and memes), and computation into the only true theory of everyth
