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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-05T14:17:01.933436+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992"},"episode":{"title":"Ep 245: The Farthest Reaches (Part 1)","slug":"ep-245-the-farthest-reaches-part-1","published_at":"2025-09-12T05:55:58+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-245-the-farthest-reaches-part-1","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992","url":"https://brettroberthall.podbean.com/e/ep-245-the-farthest-reaches-part-1/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/bbutaektfmn5u6j3/The_farthest_reaches_podcast7v63h.mp3","summary":"Chapters 1 to 4 of a multi-chapter series about the reach of what I argue is one of the most important lessons to learn in order to solve many pressing problems: explanatory universality.
