A 1.5hr random, nonlinear tawk with Stephen Wolfram dated Feb 19th 2022 on topics ranging from the hyper Ruliad, computational irreducibility, universality, the Principle of Computational Equivalence, undecidability, metamathematics, scientism, multicomputation, to why IQ fails.

I really wanted to ask a lot more questions, but we ran out of time. Hopefully next time!

Chapters/timestamps:
00:00:00 Introductions
00:01:57 My summary
00:07:40 Black holes
00:12:41 Pure motion
00:14:18 Persistence
00:16:32 Computational souls
00:22:31 The hyper Ruliad, or why does the Universe exist?
00:27:39 Computational irreducibility and free will
00:32:44 Universality, the Principle of Computational Equivalence, and undecidability
00:44:09 Metamathematics and Platonism
00:48:45 Undecidability in law and robotics
00:52:39 Scientism and the pandemic
00:57:21 Multicomputation: a new paradigm for science
01:02:14 Multicomputation: evolutionary biology
01:05:42 Multicomputation: P vs NP
01:07:36 Sidenote: distributed computation
01:09:40 Multicomputation: economics
01:21:51 Computational irreducibility and IQ
01:28:37 The end

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
