Episode 112: Words vs Concepts: Does 'Randomness' Exist?
Manage episode 495883916 series 2853322
Bruce first explains the difference between arguing over concepts vs arguing over words.
Then Bruce examines assertions about probability and randomness in the critical rationalist community. Why does David Deutsch insist that there is no such thing as 'randomness'? What does the many worlds interpretation really say about this? Is all 'randomness' really just pseudo-randomness? Is this really a conflict between concepts or just an argument over words?
