Sean, I imagine some of the interviews you conduct arise from your own current readings. Hopefully my approach of buying into some of interviewees books are an acceptable representation of what might constitute as recommended reading.
Autotelic people report a greater sense of fulfillment and a greater sense of satisfaction in their lives. They lead a fulfilling life, despite low social status or financial rewards. They apply Maslow's self-actualization, meaning they have a clear advantage in realizing the development of their talents to the fullest extent.
Sean, regarding entangled electrons, as I understand it, there is technology today that can generate about 40 pairs per second and then store them in single-electron transistors SETs. In several CZcams videos, it is explained that although the particles are entangled, you can't compare the results of how the wave function collapses any faster than the speed of light even though the pair have collapsed simultaneously even across vast distances. My question is why can't the fact that the wave function has collapsed be useful for FTL communication? If you were to collapse one pair at a time at a certain rate and then change that rate, isn't this a form of communication? This is effectively how an FM transceiver works for example. Of course, you are limited with your bank of entangled pairs from the beginning of say a deep space mission, but if you left with billions of entangled pairs couldn't you send a message at FTL in the form of frequency modulation of collapsing wave functions even if it was Morse code for example?
Speaking of teleology, the entire human form has evolved to enable our functioning as larger scale RNA, using resilient information to build tools from within technological cells. Our hands are bonding organs and our brains are good at transcribing information from the resilient (DNA/writing/schematics) to the machinery of production (ribosomes, factory floor). The information in our minds is also highly mutable, just like our little RNA cousins. Check out www.megacancer.com as soon as a I pay the bill and it comes back up.
Does this mean the majority of the world that believes in religion does this for No purpose and meaning? other than that it gives them a instant big social support group.
Talk about a faint parallel David makes regarding Derrida. Probably much more fruitful to separate between dna that produce a deterministic interpretation and Derridas views on countless possible interpretations of the same text that rather colud be described as the opposite to genetic interpretation. Evolution is steered towards finding what actually works in contrast to Derrida who questions truth and knowledge all together.
19:12 Disappointing - is he really arguing for strong emergence? "Although strong emergence is logically possible, it is uncomfortably like magic. How does an irreducible but supervenient downward causal power arise, since by definition it cannot be due to the aggregation of the micro-level potentialities? Such causal powers would be quite unlike anything within our scientific ken. This not only indicates how they will discomfort reasonable forms of materialism. Their mysteriousness will only heighten the traditional worry that emergence entails illegitimately getting something from nothing." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence#Strong_and_weak_emergence
28:33 - "our genes don't care about us (if they can get their way by our misery or by our _ they will achieve it), and so we shouldn't care much about them": This is fundamentally incorrect, organisms have evolved to care about their genetic variants. The unwillingness of a comparatively high genetic quality male to invest resources in a comparatively low quality fertile female obtained through short term reproductive strategy in an egalitarian/redistributive society is irrelevant. This evolution of care is taken to the next level with organisms adapted to encode (1st/2nd order) theory of mind. They have evolved to model/perceive/believe in themselves as sentient agents above and beyond the material world with internal/phenomenological feelings/existence worth protecting at all costs, and who will readily dehumanise those outside of their immediate group (probabilistically inferred kin). Without such adaptation a highly intelligent generalised agent wouldn't be necessarily motivated to protect themselves/group, as they could rationalise their genocide using this intelligence.
As if fields of knowledge about language, meaning and semiotics weren’t scientific... SMH. Sean! Dude! Be humble, sit down, read Charles S. Peirce and get out ur little physics-as-paradigm-of-science bubble
This is definitely the kind of interview that I'm here for. Insightful discussion by both Sean and David.
Had no idea you had a podcast but this is great!
Thanks for this new episode, fascinating topic!
Great job, Sean. I was hoping you would speak to David Haig. His new book is amazing.
my fav podcast
Thank you sean!

Intresting and thoughtfull potcast
1:11:01 #HighValue Thank you both.

Ok,, lanjut. I'm from Indonesia 👍👍
My mind has been impregnated with ideas.
Live forever.
Sean your voice 👍👌👌
You got my attention at Derrida, my boyfriend x
Oh you were tickled too? yaas ty for introducing this book.

Derrida, the biggest Troll in history.. xD

This is extremely rustic. Boring...
