kind of uh you know truncations in some ways i'm just like that's wrong that's wrong that's wrong i want to do this and people are like oh my god you just told me you destroyed my life's work i'm like relax no i'm just like let's make it better and i think that we don't do that enough because we're we're you know we we're we're we're either personally critical which isn't helpful or we don't give any criticism at all because we're too scared

I'm sure I make mistakes on that. I mean, I argue lots with Sarah and she's kind of shocked. I've argued with Jascha in the past and he's like, you're just making that up. I'm like, no, not quite, but kind of. Yeah. You know, I had a big argument with Sarah about time. She was like, no, time doesn't exist. I'm like, no, no, time does exist.

And as she realized that her conception of assembly theory and my conception of assembly theory were the same thing, necessitated us to abandon the fact that time is eternal, to actually really fundamentally question how the universe produces combinatorial novelty.

So I think assembly theory is fine in this time right now, but I think it helps us understand that something interesting is going on. And I'm really inspired by a guy called Nick Gizan. I'm going to butcher his argument, but I love his argument a lot, so I hope he forgives me if he hears about it. But basically... If you want free will, time has to be fundamental.

And if you want time to be fundamental, you have to give up on platonic mathematics and you have to use intuitionist mathematics. By the way, and again, I'm going to butcher this, but basically Hilbert... said that, you know, infinite numbers are allowed. And I think it was Brower said, no, you can't, all numbers are finite. So they're kind of like, so let's go back a step.

Cause it was like, people are going to say, assembly theory seems to explain that large combinatorial space allows you to produce things like life and technology. And that large combinatorial space is so big that is not even accessible to a Sean Carroll, David Deutsch multiverse.

The physicists saying that all of the universe already exists in time is probably, provably, that's a strong word, not correct. that we are going to know that the universe as it stands, the present, the way the present builds the future so big, the universe can't ever contain the future. And this is a really interesting thing.

I think Max Techmark has this mathematical universe where he says, you know, the universe is kind of like a block universe. I apologize to Max if I'm getting it wrong, but people think you can just move. You have the initial conditions, and you can run the universe right to the end and go backwards and forwards in that universe. That is not correct.
