David Deutsch is really interesting. Maybe I should actually watch these lol!

Listen to this guy too:

worth mentioning that infinite universes is not in any way contrary to infinite creator God either. nor, if you understand what "action" means (as in misesian action axiom) and understand that God doesn't need power to "change" anything because he *must* have already anticipated it, and if that isn't the case, then the "omnipotent God" assertion is essentially stating that there is multiple supreme powers and they must needs differentiate, and fork the universe. but if God knew everything, he wouldn't be changing his mind when they appear.
i know, maybe it will take you time to digest that but that's my take on it. and i think it is material to the topic that a lot of physicists believe in some form of exactly what i'm saying. Einstein even said "God does not play dice", a statement that is repeated and thematic of James Glieck's book "Chaos", the best intro to how a universe with eternal laws can still be impossible to model.
He really is very interesting tp listen.. food for thoughts
Yes! Thanks to him I discovered David Deutsch 😁🤙🏼
Never heard about James Glieck, will check it out, thanks.
And thanks for sharing your take on it, very interesting. I yet don't have take on it, just exploring more views still..
chaos theory is much more important than quantum physics but you never hear about it. ironic because a vast swathe of the science behind computer technology depends on chaos theory principles. cryptography, for example, is rooted in similar mathematics, and the related area of machine learning and AI tech, uses the same sorts of mathematics.
indeed, hash functions are an example of exploiting the asymmetries that are present in chaotic systems. precisely because you can pick a point in a curve, and then work back from there cheaply, but finding it, requires exploring at least half of the field, on average.
hash function is deterministic, but its output is not, because of that asymmetry. that asymmetry is how all unpredictable things are asymmetric in that aspect. you can follow the causal path backwards easily, but tracing it forwards is impossibly expensive.
Watched these two fot now an starting to connect some dots..

I have already read something about fractals and had my thoughts about it, but now it is kinda all making sense in different ways.
There are so many connections and correlations in all those theories.. so much food for thoughts, thanks again nostr:nprofile1qqsyeqqz27jc32pgf8gynqtu90d2mxztykj94k0kmttxu37nk3lrktcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujummjd3ujuer9wchszxmhwden5te0daexc7fdwfjkccte9e5k6ampd3jzuet49uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmny9u5f9yd3 🤙🏼🫂
you can probably imagine what it did to my little brain at the age of 13 or 14 or whatever exactly it was when i found it in the town library. enjoy!
chaos theory and game theory are probably the two, overall, most important branches of mathematics.
Ah, lucky you I would say hahah.. that finding was an important fluke in your life I would dare to say.. and so in mine maybe.. 👀.. 🤯..
Thanks sir, PV
yeah, all the normies around me at school and such all hated books and libraries. these places were my retreat, and also quite poetic was my first major novel at the age of 9 was The Neverending Story, and i devoured books nonstop when i wasn't trying to learn to code or riding a skateboard, for the next 15 years after that.
if you were ever curious to learn more about Taoism, another book i bumped into during that time was The Tao of Pooh, which is a beautiful little examination of how the A.A. Milne books explained the principles of Taoism.
there was some amazing things in those libraries, too many for me to remember them all.
been too busy trying to get my shit together, and failing, in the time since then, to read much. aside from Human Action and LoTR. also i highly recommend reading at least the original Dune from Frank Herbert. that will also blow your mind with it's deep psychohistory backdrop.
This note has been bookmarked 😁🤙🏼
Will check thanks 🫂
