# ToKCast Page: https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992 Text version: https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992.md RSS feed: https://brettroberthall.podbean.com/feed.xml Official site: https://brettroberthall.podbean.com Author: Brett Hall Episodes: 263 ## Resource This is a podcast primarily about the work of philosopher and physicist David Deutsch and related matters (such as Popperian epistemology). I read from and comment upon the books ”The Beginning of Infinity” & ”The Fabric of Reality” (both by Deutsch), ”The Science of Can & Can’t” (by Deutsch’s collegue Marletto) and ”Rationality” by Pinker (so far). In addition I make stand alone episodes about topics like resources, environmentalism, economics, science, philosophy, epistemology (especially explanations) and reason broadly. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/tokcast-76992 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992.md ## Episodes - [Ep 263: David Deutsch's "The Fabric of Reality" Chapter 13 "The Four Strands" Part 4 - and final.](https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-263-david-deutsch-s-the-fabric-of-reality-chapter-13-the-four-strands-part-4-and-final) — 2026-07-04T14:17:48+00:00 - [Ep 262: David Deutsch's "The Fabric of Reality" Chapter 13 "The Four Strands" Part 3](https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-262-david-deutsch-s-the-fabric-of-reality-chapter-13-the-four-strands-part-3) — 2026-05-04T13:36:53+00:00 - [Ep 261: Objective Morality II](https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-261-objective-morality-ii) — 2026-04-23T14:06:44+00:00 - [Ep 260: I don't believe it!](https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-260-i-don-t-believe-it) — 2026-04-05T10:56:10+00:00 - [Ep 259: Reaction to Michael Levin Part 3: Bait and Switch, Podcastistan and Surprising(?) algorithms.](https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-259-reaction-to-michael-levin-part-3-bait-and-switch-podcastistan-and-surprising-algorithms) — 2026-03-11T12:25:10+00:00 - [Ep 258: Reaction to Michael Levin, Part 2: Bioelectricity, Consciousness and Knowing](https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-258-reaction-to-michael-levin-part-2-bioelectricity-consciousness-and-knowing) — 2026-02-16T09:04:26+00:00 - [Ep 257: Reaction to Michael Levin, Part 1: Categories and Continuums.](https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-257-reaction-to-michael-levin-part-1-categories-and-continuums) — 2026-02-09T13:08:50+00:00 - [Ep 256: David Deutsch’s ”The Fabric of Reality” Chapter 13 ”The Four Strands” Part 2](https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-256-david-deutsch-s-the-fabric-of-reality-chapter-13-the-four-strands-part-2) — 2026-01-30T11:54:39+00:00 - [Ep 255: Does this research explain how LLMs work?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-255-does-this-research-explain-how-llms-work) — 2026-01-14T13:15:13+00:00 - [Ep 254: Australia: The Land of Bans.
