Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

NOTE

Minds As Historically Contingent Combinatorial Spaces

Minds exist within a historically contingent combinatorial space, similar to assembly theory explaining the physics of life. This suggests that minds have a size and time, just like physical objects do. The concept of hyper objects - things too big for humans to fully conceive - is introduced, highlighting that physical objects have sizes in time as well as in space. This leads to the idea of the virtualization of reality, with abstract objects representing deep recursive layers compressed in time and space. The theory also raises questions about the technologies we are currently building and their relation to time, suggesting that they may be indicative of social minds rather than as creative as human minds.
