This is a really deep and fascinating interview I hope to reread a couple of times. I probably agree with the statement that metaphysical discussions typically seem like an infinite time loop of zero progress and are hard to nail down.

This is a really deep and fascinating interview I hope to reread a couple of times. I probably agree with the statement that metaphysical discussions typically seem like an infinite time loop of zero progress and are hard to nail down. For delta-t, there may be some truth to it probabilistically, but it’s always hard to say when extrapolating. Just because the odds are low, doesn’t mean it’s impossible, and there’s no way of running the scenario again to try and see how many futures would have ended that way. It either happened that way or didn’t. Whether it was 5% likely, or 99% likely, it was a binary outcome.
