Fear not! ToKCast is not becoming a pure Q&A "show". This is literally a kind of "break" for me that I find easy and I note the listeners find fun. Today's a little shorter and - here's some of the topics covered!

00:00: David Deutsch mentioned on Lex Fridman

04:15: Dennis Noble debates Richard Dawkins on the selfish gene

16:47: The goal driven life and AI

27:51 Self similarity - minds and universes

34:39: The hard problem of consciousness and Popperian epistemology

41:30: Wave particle duality

53:53 The fun criterion - and some reflections on responsibility and “toil”.

1:05:44 - Communication and the difficulty thereof between people

1:07:13 - Roger Penrose and the universality of (quantum) computation (or Taking Theories Seriously…)

1:13:35 Book recommendations.
