What Does it Mean to be Free in a Totally Interconnected Universe? Note: this video follows from my previous video titled “How Much Free Will do You Have?”. I recommend you watch it before this one, as they are best…

The Clockwork Universe
Who are You in a Deterministic, Materialistic, Reductionistic & Objectively Real World? And the day came when man conceived of a materialistic, deterministic, reductionistic, objectively real clockwork universe made of space, time, energy and matter governed by fixed, unchanging physical…

What is Information? Part 2a – Information Theory
Intro to Information Theory: Claude Shannon, Entropy, Redundancy, Data Compression & Bits Script: Summary of Previous Video: In the previous video I discussed several definitions of information and I mainly concentrated on Gregory Bateson’s definition, which describes information as…
