  • Fascinating and Informative

    My chief regret is that the iTunes list is truncated. Having to stick by the desktop to individually get older episodes from the website is annoying, plus harder to keep track of what I've listened to. Please post up the older podcasts!

The Universal Constructor: A Conversation with David Deutsch
Q: Have you given any thought to what the economic implications might be if and when humans commodify the universal constructor?
The universal constructor won't lead to an instant transformation but rather an ongoing evolution involving programming by engineers and the continued relevance of ownership and resource management.
The Universal Constructor: A Conversation with David Deutsch
Q: Now why is understanding the universal constructor important to understanding the nature of reality rather than it being merely an engineering curiosity?
Understanding the universal constructor is crucial as it represents a generalization of the idea of universal computation, which is key to grasping what computation actually entails. It signifies a dramatic innovation beyond mere engineering.
