Xhope Special with David Deutsch
David Deutsch is a British physicist at the University of Oxford. He is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Atomic and Laser Physics at the Centre for Quantum Computation (CQC) in the Clarendon Laboratory of the University of Oxford. He pioneered the field of quantum computation by formulating a description for a quantum Turing machine, as well as specifying an algorithm designed to run on a quantum computer. He has also proposed the use of entangled states and Bell's theorem for quantum key distribution and is a proponent of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

David Deutsch is one of my heroes! What an incredible video! Thanks!
Oh, so you're here too! Nice revisiting :)
David is a treasure for humanity.
Wow, a lot of new David Deutsch content lately. Very, very good.
Agreed! He’s a delight to listen to
For those looking to read the Popper's essay referred in last question. It can be found as introductory chapter in Popper's book Conjectures and Refutations.
What would you say is the best gateway book to Popper for the uninitiated?
@@GilesMcRiker Maybe Unended Quest is lighter, which he wrote in his later years. Conjectures and Refutations is great entry too it well structures his theory in its mature stage. But there are key essays elsewhere e.g. Myth of the Framework etc. Deutsch added to Popper although he is too modest to admit, so if you haven't read Beginning of Infinity that is the best and easiest start by far.
It is so valuable to have more David Deutsch content! Well done
Always a joy to listen to David!
The essay “On the Sources of Knowledge and of Ignorance” is in the Introduction to Karl Popper’s book Conjectures & Refutations. ; )
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this
Evoking wisdom 🙏👋
Outstanding !
Would be interested in setting up a London branch of foresight institute. Can see this having a beneficial role in supporting the ecosystem around existential hope across academia, industry, investors and government
Please add timestamps.
Did some up above
No link to Poppers lecture or Brett Halls five videos?

Thank you
Did anyone find the popper lecture he mentioned ( "'on the sources of knowledge and ignorance' ...i think"). Here's the brett hall take: ua-cam.com/play/PLsE51P_yPQCRCYW5QXBRjWSidM5na1I4x.html
He has to be one of the most liberal and creative scientists on the planet. But I find it confusing that he talks about right / wrong and error correction so much. Surely it's multiverse, consciousness in Consciousnesses. I'd like to ask him about the ( Hoffman sense) cosmological polytope, the extent to which ( space-time) math is a function of our vision system ( mostly ) and there's an infinity of new math to discover when we make entirely new computation 'consciousnesses'.
45:22 “there’s no law of physics that says we can’t solve them, therefore we can solve them”
Hm, I don’t think that conclusion follows. Surely for something to not be proven impossible doesn’t necessarily make it possible
It is possible given the right knowledge
@@patrickburke7693 you added a condition in your sentence. David’s point is that what’s not shown to be impossible is therefore possible, which I’m claiming is a non sequitur. Something needs to be demonstrated as possible to be possible
@@EmperorsNewWardrobe that seems like a strange condition to me. There are a very large number of things that are possible that have never been demonstrated to be possible. Just as there have been a very large number of things that turned out to be technologically possible in the last 100 years, that had never before been demonstrated to be possible in the previous 13.8 billion years prior. Am I missing something?
You've trapt yourself in a self-defeating train of thought
@@markmnelson can you give me one example of what is possible without demonstration that it's possible? I wonder if you're mixing up demonstration with verification
The physics community seriously need to come back in to the real world and get out of the surreal Alice in wonderland , dream theories.
"our society is good at not letting dangerous people into power" ... So what was Brexit? I love Deutsch but he is naive about how awful people can be and how fragile our institutions are.
David was a proponent of Brexit.
Allison, please speak slowly. It would make you more understandable to non English speakers but more elegant as well.
Why does she need to be elegant? Would you say that to a man?
Not a word about the banksters. Who want you gone. Hope you didn't get the jab
