The Importance of Practical Optimism
You mentioned in various places that you're a big fan of David Deutsch, same here. What are some of the ideas perhaps he's changed your mind about? And can you give examples of times when you've applied the world view presented in Deutsch's books in your professional or personal life? Well, yes. I kind of trained myself to think that way probabilistically, as opposed to deterministically, a long time ago. He really builds an incredible foundation for why we should pursue knowledge the way he advocates.
