    Description

    Lulie asks physicist David Deutsch about the epistemology of Effective Altruism, how to make progress given the unpredictability of knowledge, and whether we should be concerned about existential risk.

    In the second half, she asks about Effective Accelerationism (e/acc) – specifically, is its thermodynamic physics legit?

    Reason Is Fun is the idea that what is rational is the same as what is fun – that the fields of epistemology, morality and enjoyment are all deeply interconnected and take the same actions. ’Trade-offs’ simply mean you haven’t understood something. Hear conversations between host Lulie Tanett and quantum physicist David Deutsch, exploring how epistemology can be applied to everything.
