Scott Aaronson joins us to explore quantum computing, complexity theory, Ai, superdeterminism, consciousness, and free will.
TIMESTAMPS:
- 00:00:00 Introduction
- 00:02:27 Turing universality & computational efficiency
- 00:12:35 Does prediction undermine free will?
- 00:15:16 Newcomb's paradox
- 00:23:05 Quantum information & no-cloning
- 00:33:42 Chaos & computational irreducibility
- 00:38:33 Brain duplication, Ai, & identity
- 00:46:43 Many-worlds, Copenhagen, & Bohm's interpretation
- 01:03:14 Penrose's view on quantum gravity and consciousness
- 01:14:46 Superposition explained: misconceptions of quantum computing
- 01:21:33 Wolfram's physics project critique
- 01:31:37 P vs NP explained (complexity classes demystified)
- 01:53:40 Classical vs quantum computation
- 02:03:25 The "pretty hard" problem of consciousness (critiques of IIT)
NOTE: The perspectives expressed by guests don't necessarily mirror my own. There's a versicolored arrangement of people on TOE, each harboring distinct viewpoints, as part of my endeavor to understand the perspectives that exist.
