| 0:00.0 | Carlos Farias has a channel called the Sigma series, where he interviews people like |
| 0:04.4 | Bernardo Castro, Terence Deakin, Michael Evan, and Donald Hoffman. |
| 0:08.5 | Carlos recently interviewed me on work ethic, loneliness, purpose slash life's calling, |
| 0:14.1 | jealousy, string theory, hop vibrations, and the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics, |
| 0:19.2 | or as I argue, as a present deliberation, the reasonable effectiveness of mathematics. You can find his channel in the description. Check it out. I'm honored to be here, man. I'm honored to be here. Of all the people who would interview me, like, I'm glad it's you. I've had it as a personal tenant of mine, if we better understand the fundamental nature of reality, |
| 0:38.0 | that we will better know how we should act in the world. But then David Hume, you're familiar with, |
| 0:43.5 | I'm sure his is op problem. You cannot drive an op from an is. Where do you stand on that? Do you have an |
| 0:48.3 | opinion? It's not clear to me that, look, if when Newton came out with mechanics, that was a net positive for the world because |
| 0:56.5 | it made us view ourselves as automaton. |
| 0:59.8 | So it's not clear to me that you just describe more and more fundamental reality with physics, |
| 1:05.9 | say, or something else, and then you get to a more positive aught. |
| 1:09.7 | I don't know. |
| 1:10.5 | I don't know why we don't just start with the ought. Like, forget about something else. then you get to a more positive aught. I don't know. I don't know why we don't just start with the aught. |
| 1:12.6 | Like forget about this, something else is. |
| 1:14.6 | Is the whole point of Toe to then discard |
| 1:18.6 | Toe? |
| 1:20.6 | There's a saying that you return home and you know the place for the first time. |
| 1:25.6 | That's at the end of all the journeying. Is it that you don't answer the questions, but you get comfortable with leaving them unanswered? |
| 1:34.3 | Yeah, I don't know. I don't know that, that one, Carlos. |
| 1:42.3 | Kirchai Mungle is the host of Theories of Everything, a podcast which explores theoretical physics, consciousness, AI, and God in a technically rigorous manner. |
| 1:51.3 | He has over 280,000 subscribers, and according to YouTube Analytics, his channel is the most popular amongst my viewers like you. |
| 1:59.2 | Please like and subscribe, and I hope you enjoy our conversation. |
