unbounded knowledge travel

Thinking how to create knowledge environments for universal progress.

"The more different you are from other people, the more valuable you are economically...People are valuable because they are different. Everybody is unfathomably different from everyone else. That fact is not being harnessed enough and can be harnessed more."

Today the US government will wrap up collecting almost 4 trillion USD in taxes. And if you don’t pay, someone with a gun will show up to collect the money or collect you.

They won’t accept Bitcoin. Just USD. $4T in USD demand every year, enforced by guns. Makes you think.

Together with @CABedardPhysics, I'm organising a conference on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics in July of this year.

Speakers include Chiara Marletto and David Wallace. It promises to be quite interesting.

Thanks for the link. Yes those are amazing research results that bode well for very high-tech medicine that could achieve some holy-grail outcomes. 🤞

This (https://t.co/J0unAWi0ZO) is a longish exploration of this thread, tweet-by-tweet. Forgive some of the "mumbling" delivery as I read the Tweets themselves (which will be useful to refer to). In the last 10 mins or so, I refer to the article here: https://t.co/MAYSjFsH7w

The necessity for failures is a law of the universe. The necessity for suffering is not.

What's one surprisingly positive thing you've learned about yourself since the start of the pandemic?

[Brett Hall @ToKTeacher]

Newton’s law of gravity is science.

It’s false.

Whether anyone thinks they believe it or not.

We should expect the same to turn out to be the case with Einstein’s Relativity.

[Brett Hall @ToKTeacher]

Agree or disagree. The reason I chose to watch this video was because I learned YouTube has banned it from their platforms after getting a huge number of views (it just discusses the issue of lockdowns). It’s worth watching for that reason alone, imo.

Why did you learn to code?

[David Deutsch @DavidDeutschOxf]

You've seen breathtaking idiocy on Twitter, haven't you? Worse than you ever imagined humans might be capable of.

No you haven't. An actual idiot doesn't have the knowledge to astonish you.

What you've seen is human diversity. (Mostly error, of course. But so is everything.)

Fun introduction to quantum computation.

1.1: (Information is physical)^3 – YES!!!

But I think it would be worth revealing, even at this early stage, even just to mention, that probability ISN'T.

That's why the Born rule is a 'rule', and not a law of physics.

"Engines of Human Suffering". An excerpt from the (out shortly!) 3rd part of my commentary on Chapter 17 "Unsustainable" from "The Beginning of Infinity". Just a 2 minute teaser. The optimistic solution to all this: in the full episode.

Every blind person who outlives ageing will see again.

Every deaf person who outlives ageing will hear again.

Every wheelchair user who outlives ageing will walk again.

Fixing ageing fixes everything else with it. 🏥♾

Probability doesn't exist. Something either happens or it doesn't, with no in-between. What we think of as "probability" is just various forms of our ignorance about the full causal structure -- which can even involve multiple real timelines (that's quantum superposition).

[Sam @Sam_kuyp]

This Monday at 5pm, @ChipkinLogan and I will muse about quantum gravity and the issue of locality quantum theory.

Be there or be square! 😄 https://t.co/new90I6bC0
