David Deutsch offers his insights into the physics that will impact our future, challenging our new technologies, such as AGI and the development of synthetic humans, as depicted in movies. Join us for this fascinating discussion as we go INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

00:00:00 – 00:00:39 Could machines experience thoughts and sensations like humans?

00:00:45 – 00:01:46 Deutsch argues subjective experiences can arise from any system replicating brain-like processing.

00:01:47 – 00:02:25 We never experience the present moment directly but recall slightly delayed interpretations.

00:02:25 – 00:03:30 Deutsch views himself as software running on brain hardware, embodiment is mainly computational.

00:03:30 – 00:04:37 Loss of physical body parts doesn’t reduce personhood

00:04:43 – 00:07:13 Story of “lock-in” from horse’s width shaping space tech leads to analogy about AI hardware lock-in.

00:08:10 – 00:09:20 Lock-in may slow progress but creativity ensures no permanent limits.

00:09:20 – 00:12:15 Square roots and complex numbers naturally emerge in physics due to algebraic structures of reality.

00:12:15 – 00:13:31 Not all mathematical structures are worth exploring—only those relevant to solving physics problems.

00:13:31 – 00:17:00 Shift to memetics: persistence of anti-Jewish patterns is deeper than typical memes.

00:17:00 – 00:19:26 Pattern predates Christianity; it persists through cultural rationalizations, not simple hatred.

00:19:50 – 00:21:23 Discussion of life vs. death choices from Torah portion ties to Deutsch’s book on infinity

00:21:44 – 00:22:32 Humanity faces no upper or lower bounds—capable of infinite progress or catastrophic mistakes

00:23:36 – 00:24:21 Advice to young self-consider interference processes as a door to quantum computation

00:25:16 – 00:26:13 Deutsch admits past mistakes—initially misjudged multiverse explanations and free will

00:27:08 – 00:28:08 David redefines free will as the ability to create objectively new knowledge.

00:28:14 – 00:28:41 AGI programs will have free will once true AI is achieved.

00:29:02 – 00:29:18 Conclusion
