It's as if people were deliberately educated en masse to fail to be able to grasp the most basic premiss of actual human knowledge, which is how is it that we can ever actually know anything as individuals. As we learn to speak and understand each other, something each of does from a very young age, we solve this problem instinctively, but by the time we reach the level of post-graduate studies we seem to have been convinced otherwise. I have a great example of a post-doctorate researcher in "quantum foundations" and "quantum information processing" whose response to the idea that actual human knowledge is the invariant content of the different statements we can translate from one language to another (see Popper's 1978 Tanner lecture Three Worlds ) was "but where is it?" What is it that he wanted to know the location of? The actual human knowledge, of course! Why would one expect knowledge to have a physical location? Is this some demand that phys...

My comment : That was interesting. There was also an idea of some of the people in the cybernetics movement in the forties and fifties of a kind of general science of control systems engineering that mostly petered out by the time companies like IBM, Burroughs etc. started making commercial digital computers, but some interesting parts continued, like the Cybersyn project of Stafford Beer which was a kind of humanistic/management hybrid culture which tried to incorporate information systems into government. The government was Salvador Allende's socialist government in Chile and the CIA put an end end to that and Allende too in 1973.  For more on Stafford Beer's ideas see James Corbett on Cybernetics .  See part 1 here:  Tomas Petricek on his Book "Cultures of Programming" .

My comment : I worry about the epistemological stability of your theory. These calculations regarding the age of the Universe based on red-shift, and the mass at that stage of cosmological evolution are all based on various theories (I am not a cosmologist or an astrophysicist so I don't know what they actually are) which produce certain data that you are using to support a different theory. I think you need to also take into account the consistency by showing (or at least indicating why it is not necessary to show) that the laws you are proposing do not produce different estimates for the age and apparent mass of the Universe at the time to which the observations on which you base these new theories are assumed. It is quite possible that you will find different values, and a different set of data that are consistent, then you will have the possibility of another experimental test of your theory. I have been saying for years that this ought to be a priority for all of physics/astro...

My comment :  There is a lot you can do if you change the problem! Take social media platforms for example. You don't need to have some fixed notion of simultaneity in the sense of a total order that your platform preserves on message timestamps. If you model time as a partial order then you can have distributed systems which update asynchronously according connectivity and available bandwidth. If you are smart enough to be able to change your business models then you can produce adaptive distributed booking systems on a similar basis. Imagine an airline booking system that only scheduled flights and routes once it had enough committed bookings, and whose prices adapted according to the booking status and what people were prepared to pay. If we were really smart we would be able to manage entire global supply chains like this, right down to scheduling where to build railway lines and roads. Maybe the Chinese will help us do this?

My comment :  Wow Toby! What a great video! 25:25 On the tortured souls of artists. It may not be so common these days, because there are a lot of artists who achieve some success in their own lives, and the art world is a whole scene, but I think a part of the torture might [be] the response of ordinary people to anybody who thinks too far out of the box. It seems to make people uncomfortable and the way they respond to that discomfort seems a lot like disdain.

From the description: Roughly speaking, Martin-Löf's dependent type theory comes in two flavours, intensional and extensional. Compared with the second flavour, the first one lacks logical principles such as function extensionality that are taken for granted in mathematics; but it has very good computational properties and (therefore) underlies the various theorem-proving systems implementing dependent type theory. Since Martin Hofmann's PhD work in the late 1990s, we have known that some type-theoretic version of the notion of "setoid" (= set equipped with an equivalence relation) can be used to regain some version of extensional type theory in some version of intensional type theory; but to be more precise, one has to explain the three "some"s in that sentence. I have long avoided thinking about setoids, because the topic is said to be hellish; but one can grow to love most things if one tries!

I was recently told that it's unreasonable to expect anybody to read more than 500 words on any subject. Is that true? I often read more than 500 words, especially of books. But if I have to explain what words like epistemology and ontology mean as well, then that doesn't leave many words left. The best part of this lecture of Searle's is at 23:24 . I get into detail, with some examples from the 80s explicitly citing Searle in this post:  John Searle's Chinese Room Argument .
