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 261: Objective Morality II","slug":"ep-261-objective-morality-ii","published_at":"2026-04-23T14:06:44+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-261-objective-morality-ii","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992","url":"https://brettroberthall.podbean.com/e/ep-261-objective-morality-ii/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/7my3749cczw856wu/Objective_Morality_II_podcast80mfy.mp3","summary":"Do not destroy the means of error correction. A deep unification of knowledge akin to unifying quantum theory with computation to create the theory of quantum computation. David Deutsch will be known for not merely forging the basis of quantum computing but also a new basis for morality and epistemology. I explain much of that here. \"What should we do next?\" is a question with an answer that is right or wrong, good or evil, better or worse. All existing moral frameworks philosophers debate are theories that can serve as criticisms of \"what to do next\". Morality is as objective as domain as mathematics, physics or anything else. Relativism, like it's sister philosophy dogmatism is false.","meta_description":"Do not destroy the means of error correction.
