The text has been inspired by the discussion “Turing Machine” on the everything list: http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list/t/40e45a536974609d Many people believe nowadays that the level of scientific knowledge allows us to conclude that everything including the whole universe could be simulated. Some of the them go further and say that the universe that we know is actually simulation [...]

Brent has posted a link to a nice video: http://videosift.com/video/Miss-USA-2011-Should-Math-Be-Taught-In-Schools See also a short discussion after that http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list/t/08a5c40ff1f9fee0 The video is a parady on the Miss USA 2011 Interviews – Should Evolution Be Taught in Schools. Yet, it is very well done and, I guess, it shows well the attidude of the society to mathematics. [...]
Craig Weinberg has made a link to the video on the everything list: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3keLeMwfHY with a question Does the idea of this machine solve the Hard Problem of Consciousness, or are qualia something more than ideas? The Web-site devoted to that nice Turing machine shown in the video is http://www.aturingmachine.com/ The discussion of the Craig’s answer: [...]
One quote from the everything list (Bruno Marchal) about lying: Lying is of the type Bf, like errors, dreams and perhaps death. But it is more general than “asserting a falsity”, it might be “acting and behaving in a way such that others will have a wrong belief”. With that definition in mind, the following [...]

A good link from the everything-list. Damian Conway, Thoughtstream: “Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine Programming In Multiple Topologically Connected Quantum-Relativistic Parallel Timespaces…Made Easy!” A very nice talk on how one can easily implement in Perl all difficult concepts of modern physics including parallel universes.

The message to the everything list This week in Die Zeit there were two papers about love and fidelity. One more scientific, another more philosophic. In the latter there is a couple of paragraphs related to Goethe’s “Elective Affinities” that are 100% in agreement with Rex: Die Utopie der Liebe http://www.zeit.de/2011/15/Ps-Treue-Philosophie Fidelity is mere an [...]
