The beginning of infinity is not an easy book to read.

To some level, Deutsch could not but write for other physicists.

He has a certain peer group that he respects and who respect him,

and he has to meet them at their level.

So he has to write for other physicists and philosophers.

Part of what I wanted to do was I wanted to understand

these principles in the book, verify, confirm them from myself or not.

I love the old motto from the Royal Society, which says,

Nullius and Verba, which says, take no one's word for it.

In other words, figure it out yourself.

That's the only way you know anything.

So I wanted to confirm the principles in the beginning of infinity

or to refute them for myself.

So to do that, I was reading a reread in the book.

I started reading some blog posts on it.

And then eventually I found a guy online named Brett Hall.

And I started listening to his podcast, which was called

Talkcast, but T-OK cast, for the Theory of Knowledge cast.

And Brett, I'm going to let you introduce yourself.

But I would say that listening to your podcast has helped me

clarify a lot of these principles.

And I would love to have you talk with me
