The holy grail is to create the most predictive and explanatory (mathematical) model/s of everything in this physical universe across all levels of reality, including many information processing systems, including foundational physics. Scientists have finite time in their lives, but longevity and immortality could give them more time. Scientists have finite limited brains, but transhumanist upgrades to brains could enhance their intelligence towards this goal. And computers, AIs, machines broadly, and posthumans can also contribute in out-of-distribution ways, and at scales beyond our current comprehension. We need to apply scientific method to the scientific method more As far as I know more generally parapsychology research currently doesn't have any scientifically good results, and I feel like that trend will continue. Science can be seen through the lens of art A lot of things in technology and engineering evolve quickly and much of the knowledge about it becomes outdated quickly as a result. But the knowledge that will forever remain relevant is the fundamental mathematics that governs that technology with the mathematics of the physical reality across all scales in which it all lives. The empirical part in scientific breakthroughs is often overlooked by the masses. For example those who found the initial astronomy laws also did a lot of data collection, but people mostly focus on the idea eureka moments, while often also overlooking the messy process where many initial ideas didn't work. Increasing science in the world has so many positive higher order effects Data is one of the biggest bottlenecks in a lot of sciences i give a high probability to the fact that the quest for more and more empirically predictive scientific models of the universe is never ending, so we will just only get closer and closer to a "theory of everything" that can predict and explain any empirical data, because humans, transhumans, posthumans, aliens, AIs, etc. will always be limited finite observers yes, it would also need to conduct experiments to test its theories As far as I know, Meyer seems to be spreading some misinformation/disinformation that isn't scientific, motivated by Christianity https://youtu.be/Akv0TZI985U?si=5R44UssfKaVMQCMC Dave is probably too harsh/aggressive/attacking etc. here as always, but he tries to dig into the claims he's making and compare them with what we know in science Personally I'm fine with Christians, as long as they don't try to rewrite the scientific empirical evidence and best predictive models that we have so far in science with cherry picked or false data and less empirically predictive models, using selective/confirmation/sampling/etc. bias, to fit the stories in the Bible, disrespecting the scientific method And the whole Discovery institute camp seems to be doing exactly that as far as I know from my limited knowledge and perspective about them and about the topics so far I'm open to change my mind with other evidence though. But so far I feel like I don't see other evidence. čím konkrétněji a hlouběji je někdo v konkrétní expertíze a mluví čistým expertním jazykem z toho podoboru co referuje na hodně konrétní věci, co zjednodušuje minimum, tím míň understandable je outsiderům ale zjednodušit by to technicky šlo, a snažit se to vysvětlit přes analogie, apod. o tom je dost popularizační vědy ale to ztrácí tu přesnost někdy šílím z toho jak moc někteří ML koncepty až moc zjednodušejí ale myslím že information loss tam bude v podstatě vždycky tím že je to vždycky určitá aproximace, přidání vágnosti, atd.
