Could you share what set you out on this project, is it a novel understanding or a retelling of existing knowledge? Ethier way it's a discovery for me but would like some clarification.
That's a great question. I want to accomplish a few things with this podcast. One of them is to clarify my own thoughts about complexity and biological information science. The other one is to foster the idea of seeing the world as composed of processes and not just objects. I think it has implications not only for scientific understanding but for our understanding of causality -- but I'm not going to get to that until one of the very last podcast episodes.
@@JoshYoungMD As you mentioned in the first episode the product-process dichotomy is a defining feature of complex systems. Probabilistic causality seems intriguing and to some degree alluring as it takes the borders of human understanding and smudges them up a bit. However, I wonder if this is merely a transitive state before we reach a greater comprehension as some who adhere to hidden variable theory believe. Regardless, my hope is that beyond a greater systemic focus, we trend towards a more holistic approach in general. Thanks for making these.
I agree with you. Systems thinking is difficult and it is less gratifying than simple linear cause and effect. We have some tools to deal with holistic problems, but in many cases we still need to rely upon simulation.
Great video as always. Do you plan on uploading to Spotify as well? I typically download your videos to be able to listen to at the gym, but I rather my watch time support you at the minimum!
We can see that the universe forms structures of mind boggling scales through the pull of gravity between galaxy clusters. Some of these structures, known as galactic filaments, are over 200 billions light years in diameter. That’s farther apart than we are from the light that flew outwards from the creation of the universe across all of time, many times over. Everything we know about the universe tells us that structures of this scale can’t exist, and yet we call one of these massive filaments home. Truly then, it must be the will of everything to be, to create meaning, that drives the motion of the universe, otherwise it would have no meaning at all.
It's not coincidental that all wings are shaped and formed in a symmetrical pattern of which implies the figure 8. These aren't coincidences, there are underlining truths that proceed these things and bring them about in the certain and consistent ways they do. Would wings work if they didn't represent this form? When you come to the answer you should realize it's a necessity and that means it's the only thing that can be for it to work out the way it does and perform the operation that it does. Necessity can't be a coincidence everything has a reason and a deeper meaning if you can see beneath the surface of it all and recognize the transparent symmetries as opposed to the apparent and definite differences. Differences are definite and objectively defined, whereas symmetries are implied underneath it all and subjectively understood in relation to different things. The differences are visible to the eye or perceived by the senses, whereas the symmetries are invisible and only recognizable by the higher intelligence of being in the conscious observer of it all. Everything comes from the same source and everything represents that source from which we all come and everything does it in different ways, but if you trace back the symmetry of it all you will find the source from which they all come and the relations they all have in common through that. This is so that even in their differences you can see the similarities that reside underneath it all and a greater web of connection is implied through it all and this is how we develop our higher intelligence, by making these connections for ourselves and mapping out the resolution in that. Chaos is simply an idea built off of ignorance and limited perspective, it's a necessary state in the growth and development of our learned higher intelligence. Though chaos doesn't exist and is a misnomer in that, it's just there are systems and realities that exist to such a complex degree beyond our current capacity to completely understand it all. Though if you understand the way things work in the basic principles of things, it should be obvious and undeniable the truth in the fact that every cause has its effect and for this everything that comes to be has a reason in that state that it's in. Every state has a path you can trace to its beginning and the future you can projectively predict to its end. That doesn't mean your predictions will be correct and at the level of higher intelligence in being as in the lives of human beings no certain prediction can exist. ~ Ps. Great content by the way, keep up the good work!
