Sean Carroll, Daniel Dennett, & Steven Pinker: AI, Parapsychology, Panpsychism, & Physics Violations

Is this a deck of cards? Cause I see four kings

RIP Dan Dennett - was surprised to hear of his passing after having watched this interview not too long ago :(

RIP Dr. D. So glad I got to see this conversation. 🖤😔

Idk how you get such quality guests so consistently, but I'm not complaining!

Three of my favorite thinkers of all time. You’ve had so many great guests but you’ve really outdone yourself this time. Please keep these wonderful conversations going. Also, you’ve improved as a host, asking the right questions and comments. Bravo 👏

Nothing better than getting great minds who disagree into the same room to hear each other's points and discuss, rather than having to listen to one interview at a time and wonder what each would say to the other if they were present. Tremendously useful discussion. Thank you all!

What a delightful discussion to listen to and especially one last opportunity to hear from the wonderful Dan Dennett. Thank you so much.

I always appreciate a Sean Carroll episode! This is another great one!

Wow, the algorithm struck gold on this one. Don't know how this is the first time I've seen this channel, but you got a sub.

From a retired academic (me): academic research is largely based on competitive grants. It's inevitable that people competing for grants will turn ot AI machinery to crank out applications. Up till now we had to sweat to put together proposals that fit the different requirements of each grant. With AI anyone will be able to apply to every single grant available, in different foreign languages to boot. Has academia discussed this prospect? Or are you all still stuck on figuring out how to prevent students from cheating on their papers?

I did not know I needed to see these 3 gents in a conversation, but man I did, awesome discussion!

Congratulations Robinson, 200 episodes very cool, you consistently have great people to engage with and that benefits all of us, fantastic panel for number 200, thank you Daniel, Sean, Steven, and Robinson for sharing your time and work, 20 years ago you'd have to spend a week deep in a library to begin to gather the information presented here and its greatly appreciated, peace

what a great line up, happy geeseling right here. as regards your 200th show - congrats dude, you really are doing a great job and we appreciate it enormously.

Less than a month later, RIP Dan Dennett (19 April, 2024). How sharp his mind still was, and how healthy he seemed, so near the end. I hope he didn't suffer in the weeks following this panel. It was probably one of the last public appearances he did. What a great illusory consciousness, evaporating into.. this.. space. And then there were two.

Rip Daniel dennett

Awesome. Great conversation!

Great episode, Robinson! Please keep up the good work!!!

Such a delight listening to this episode. Time well spent. Thank you.

So glad this channel popped back into my feed. It’s been a while

For some reason this was playing on my cell phone at times two speed when I woke up. My brain had been translated this into a dream where I was at a preppy frat party that doubled as an in processing station for drawing military gear for a deployment. I was going from station to station and had to wait in various lines to either play beer games or draw more T-50 (military gear). While in each line I was discussing all these super deep philosophical issues with people. When I woke up I immediately realized that I am not as smart as my dream made me think I am, but it did clarify how my interpretation of the world is really messed up.
