  • This episode of the Popperian Podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with David Deutsch. They speak about the history of humanity and philosophy, epistemology and the problem of discovering truth, failed attempts to solve this such as with empiricism and induction, Karl Popper’s solution to this problem (conjecture and refutation), and how this animates and leads us to the Open Society.
    David Deutsch is a Visiting Professor of physics at the Centre for Quantum Computation, the Clarendon Laboratory (Oxford University), an Honorary Fellow of Wolfson College (Oxford), and the author of The Fabric of Reality and The Beginning of Infinity. David works on fundamental issues in physics, particularly the quantum theory of computation and information, and constructor theory.

    Excellent interview!!! It is rare to hear this quality of conversation regarding these types of ideas.

    Great interview too. Best I've seen with Deutsch. You allowed him to talk and think through his stories fully, whilst asking good questions to keep the conversation flowing. Difficult job to do considering the topic matter.

      Exactly, really excellently done. Also allowed for an on-ramp for beginners as well as some depth for fans.

      Agreed - a really great interview. Though I hesitate to rate this on empirical observation alone. Maybe I should internally conjecture an explanation for why I enjoyed this so much!!

    Fabulous interview. Really learned a lot. Popper’s ideas make sense in a deeper way.

    Just curious, how many people are here out of an interest in science or David Deutsch and how many are here out of an interest in political philosophy or Popper?

    • @jesserayn
      @jesserayn Před 3 lety +5

      Science or David Deutsch, then political philosophy, then Popper

      I just found this gold mine. I came for Popper and just now learned about David Deutsch. We're going over 420 ppm CO2 and headed for oblivion, So much for the Open Society and its enemies!

    Thanks for your podcast, I think it is pretty good and it's good Popper's ideas are getting a bit more exposure.

    All species do not “go” extinct; many and all that exist today generally “evolve” . DNA knowledge is conserved over time.

      I know. This is a timid approach which makes me sad. I want great thinkers to stand up strongly against the corporate agenda and their 100 MK Ultra chess moves.
