Here's an easy, visual introduction to David Deutsch's The Beginning of Infinity. One hour on the cosmic significance of knowledge and people, using my lovely homemade lightboard!✨

Watch it on Youtube:

Here's a lovely little trailer (made by @poetengineer__ ):

And here's a short summary of the video:

@DavidDeutschOxf Came for the lightboard. Stayed for the knowledge.

@DavidDeutschOxf Plus they’re easy to make!

@DavidDeutschOxf Tnx for the video @dela3499. But I don't see any reason why exploring all the possibilities strictly require knowledge. Knowledge may accelerates search by giving it direction. So whether AGI/humans are cosmically significant (especially in the infinity horizon) is nontrivial.

@DavidDeutschOxf Anything can happen spontaneously. It’s just that the odds are stupendously low. And it’s exponentially less likely for it to happen *repeatedly*. Knowledge can change the odds to make it very likely to happen. And not just once, but many times.

@DavidDeutschOxf Can you pick up @Balajis next. I feel major fomo because whatever he says goes over my head

@DavidDeutschOxf clear and simple...

@DavidDeutschOxf Wow just discovered this, love the video 👏

@DavidDeutschOxf Thanks!
