When will the 200 billionth person be born?
2020-07-24T23:05:27
Current population of Earth is 7.8 billion people. Since about 50,000 years ago, when modern Homo sapiens first appeared, the number of people who have lived is 109 billion, which naturally leads to the other number that gives me pause. Since the origin of modern humans, 101 billion people have died. 101 billion stori...

What is Real? (Lee Smolin) | AI Podcast Clips
2020-03-13T12:44:48
What is real? Let's start with an easy question. Put another way, how do we know what is real and what is merely a creation of our human perception and imagination? We don't know. We don't know. This is science. I presume we're talking about science. And we believe, or I believe, that there is a world that is independ...
