Recommendation: I've learned from father/grandfather that there is no greater pleasure in life than a free-flowing conversation with an erudite person: 1) @holland_tom is about the most erudite person I've met West of the Alps, 2) His podcasts feel like a conversation.
Some truth by Rip @SS_strength. Principles: 1- You WILL NOT get stronger without getting body fat, forget the image of the steroid-laden "ripped". 2- Never work out body parts separately. 3- Never suffer fools gladly.
One of deepest conversation you may ever listen to, betw @trishankkarthik & S. Wolfram. Touches on computational irreducibility as determining free will, the structure of the universe... Covers w/o knowing: ship of Theseus, mind-body & rigid designators! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6tKBXblzxQ
Excellent post by @Balajis (rehabilitated himself). Contrary to perception, we are NOT sliding into bureaucratocontrolledtechnotyranny. The informational distortion of the net w/conspiracies makes us think we are being increasingly controlled while sliding into a vicious ANARCHY.
Great work!
I can confirm.
I spent ~7 hours watching the 8 episodes.
Remember that what will work in the future must not make a lot of sense now. A lot of what makes sense (in naive first order logic) has already been tried --and failed. @rorysutherland

Science is assumed to be “evidence-based” but that term alone doesn’t mean much. What constitutes good evidence? How is evidence being used? Is it supporting or refuting a hypothesis? Was the hypothesis and experimental design predetermined or found ex post facto?
Beautiful thread. Entropy it is.
