Is science about understanding the world, or just making predictions? In this discussion with physicist Avshalom Elitzur, cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky takes Wittgenstein’s example to demonstrate that our ability to predict something doesn’t necessarily mean we understand it, and this applies to reality at its most fundamental level.

Science is a social product and serves as "code of social-action." Prediction is an ability of understanding regularity of nature. Understanding is the quality of mapping world onto mind.

I don't think we even understand understanding.

Weird application of that example. Were they discussing AI? Also, there are two types of predicting there: can the person trying to demonstrate their understanding of the sequence “predict” what the next number should be; and can the observer correctly predict whether they can.

"string theory works like no other science," argues polymath mathematician Eric Weinstein. In this debate, he goes head-to-head with Roger Penrose, Brian Greene, and Zehra Husain as they discuss whether it is time to move on from string theory, or whether its continued dominance is justified by its potential to unify our understanding of the universe once and for all.

Professor Elan Barenholtz, cognitive scientist at Florida Atlantic University, joins TOE to discuss one of the most unsettling ideas in cognitive science: that language is a self-contained, autoregressive system with no inherent connection to the external world. In this mind-altering episode, he explains why AI’s mastery of language without meaning forces us to rethink the nature of mind, perception, and reality itself... full episode🔗below

Carl Sagan in an Interview with Charlie Rose ✍️ We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it? Science is a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along.

Is math something humans invent—or something we discover? And why does it describe the universe so uncannily well? In this episode of Uncommon Knowledge, Peter Robinson sits down with mathematicians David Berlinski, Sergiu Klainerman, and Stephen C. Meyer to explore one of the deepest mysteries in science and philosophy: the reality of mathematics. From the simple certainty that 2 + 2 = 4 to the mind-bending mathematics behind black holes and quantum physics, the conversation asks why abstract numbers—created in the human mind—map so perfectly onto the physical world. Is mathematics purely logical, or does it point to a deeper structure of reality that isn't material at all? Along the way, the panel explores beauty in science, the "unreasonable effectiveness" of math, and whether the concept of materialism can really explain the world we live in. This wide-ranging discussion blends mathematics, physics, philosophy, and metaphysics into a fascinating conversation about truth, beauty, and the nature of reality itself.

Nothing in physics may be truly fundamental. Questions whether the idea of “building blocks” in nature are increasingly outliving its usefulness, suggesting that our most basic concepts reflect the limits of human understanding rather than the structure of reality itself. Here Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder (Sabine Hossenfelder) argues that mathematics isn't real, and rather a tool we use to describe the world. If that’s the case, what would a coherent picture of the world even look like? And can physics progress without appealing to particles, things, or foundations? Watch the full debate via the link, also featuring critic of realism Hilary Lawson and celebrated philosopher of science Tim Maudlin:

David founder Peter Rahal on why there's not much innovation in food: "Food entrepreneurs are predominately luddites. A lot of talented entrepreneurs just don’t go into food. Because it’s hard. And it’s not obvious how to differentiate. Nutrition science is not seen as a real science. This leads to a lot confusion in the market. For example, the economics don’t work to study the effect of a potato on the human body. There’s just not enough money in potatoes to justify the R&D budget to learn more about them. And so there’s actually not a lot of money going into the research and science of nutrition. Peter Thiel has a quote “If you ever put science behind something, it’s not a real science.” And so nutrition science is not a real science. But it can be. There’s just no money in it. And what is food? It’s really just understanding biochemistry. But it just doesn’t exist. And I think it’s probably driven by the economics of it. So I think that’s the main reason. But hopefully it will change in the future." Full conversation with Peter here:

Experience isn’t something theoretical or ideological, argues Slavoj Žižek. True experience is when something happens that destroys the network of presuppositions you hold. He goes on to compare this to today’s geopolitical situation, in which the changes are so vast that the very way in which we measure and understand things is disappearing. Tap here to watch his debate “The self and the world” with Carlo Rovelli and Alenka Zupančič now.

The most unhinged and absurd climate alarmists in America, including Gore, Kerry, and AOC, have made some of the dumbest end of world predictions that obviously were never going to be proven true. Science predictions on future temperatures, sea levels, etc. widely range from the most optimistic to the most pessimistic. It’s always been beyond ridiculous to label it climate/science denialism when the rest of us don’t blindly nod our heads in obedience to the buffoonery of insisting the most pessimistic and boneheaded predictions of the Kerry/Gore/AOC/Thunberg types are the only settled science.

There Is No Final Theory of Everything I think a theory of everything is perhaps not the most fruitful way of thinking about science... It is my philosophical position that for any theory, no matter how complete it looks, we may be able to find problems in it, and these problems will lead to something else. I think there are different levels of explanations, maybe infinitely many. And we keep going from one to another by understanding things more and more. I like this more open-ended way of thinking about science and physics. We just keep digging, and sometimes we find a deeper level of explanation that brings about more unification. In this view, there will always be something to work on. The idea of a [final] theory of everything suggests a sense of closure. ~Conjecture Institute Senior Scientist Chiara Marletto with Curt Jaimungal

Elon Musk on making science fiction real. "So that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact." Most people leave space in the theater. Elon treats it as a handoff — fiction becomes hardware when the ships are real and the people are aboard. • Science fiction → science fact • Big spaceships with people to the Moon and other planets • Then beyond our star system Not a forever-Earth ceiling. Not a movie set. A destination. "And we want to have epic futuristic spaceships with lots of people in them traveling to places we've never been to before."
