Free Will and Determinism
Compatibilism is the position that free will and determinism are compatible.
Freedom lies in acting according to one's reasons and values, even in a causally determined world.

Look forward to giving an online talk about my work on communication across quantum multiverse branches for the Conjecture Institute’s Advances in Physics event next Wednesday!

To be human is to run on reasons.
To be a dog is to go through the motions.
It is particularly perverse to tell a kid that the reason isn't interesting.

Age Reversal Research and AI
AI cannot tell you on its own whether a treatment actually makes someone younger.
A cell can look younger on a test without working any better or being any safer.
The results still have to hold up in cells, then animals, then people.
What AI mainly buys you is speed.
It lets researchers test more ideas and learn from each one faster.

If my three-year-old wants to climb on something that's dangerous, my job is to help them climb onto something in a way that's not dangerous.
My creative mind can start working on figuring out a way for the child to engage with whatever it is he is interested in while ensuring his safety.
It doesn't involve me 'controlling' him.

Our Current Understanding of Quantum Theory
1. We understand the theory in great detail - well enough to make practical use of it.
2. Controversy rages about whether or not we have satisfying explanations about what quantum theory actually says about the world (Everettian quantum theory is still a minority viewpoint).
3. We don't understand how to reconcile quantum theory and gravity.

That we hold systemic biases doesn't mean that we're closed to argument or are irrational.
It just means that if we're economizing on time, then it's good to have something to work with.

The Romance of Science
Scientific endeavor is about a willingness to seek understanding in a universe that doesn't obviously care about us.
