The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

But I think our ability to abstract and our ability to build technologies based on our abstractions and what we're doing now is fundamentally different than anything that our biosphere has done over the last four billion years.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

I think we're pretty special.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

And I have no problem saying that.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

I think we're the most interesting thing in the universe.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

Known universe, yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

Yeah, I'm sure there is, but I don't think that we're ever going to recognize what that thing is until we actually really appreciate what we are.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

Oh, so I just I think it's not possible for like like I guess people want to say the universe is infinite in size.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

And I don't know what that means.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

I think it just is a placeholder of like we don't understand.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

So infinity helps in like certain in certain theories of physics, like to actually make your mathematics tractable.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

But to say it's actually like a physical thing to me is.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

It doesn't make any sense.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

And it doesn't make any sense because I think if you assume, you know, like there's an infinity of things that could exist and that infinity of things exists somewhere.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

Like so you have like, you know, max tag marks, mathematical universe hypothesis, all mathematical objects exist somewhere.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

And obviously there's like an infinite number of them.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

It doesn't actually explain anything about here or like why do we have the things that we have in this universe?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

And I think it's I think what infinity is, is it's a feature of humans imagination to define the space of what's possible.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

And it physically exists as the boundary of that space.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2184 - Sara Imari Walker

But it doesn't physically exist out there as a real physical thing.
