20:03 SW starts talking
20:34 The Concept of the Observer
26:19 The Operation of Observers
37:48 How Observers Construct Their Perceived Reality
41:36 The Case of Quantum Mechanics
50:04 Observers of Abstract Worlds
1:01:52 In the End It's All Just the Ruliad
1:07:57 What We Assume about Ourselves
1:15:57 The Cost of Observation
1:25:22 The Future of Observer Theory
1:33:20 What are the computational rules of observation? how do you get from bits of space to bits of meaning?
1:36:29 ​So you are saying there are no discrete objects, everything is connected, there is just oneness of quantum fields...
1:37:16 But who observes the observer?
1:38:24 Computational boundedness leads to unpredictability thanks to chaos theory?
1:43:35 Can we confidently say where we are in the ruliad?
1:47:03 So is the multiway graph based on Everettian Quantum Mechanics?
1:49:24 Are you kind of defining the axioms of Einstein's 'Observer' in special relativity?
1:53:59 Leonard Susskind described an observation as an entanglement, would like to know your thoughts on this. Can an observer be something that is both accelerating and decelerating in stable tandem?
1:54:57 Is "analysis" our best bet to transfer an observation between two observers in a lossless manner?
1:57:00 How should observers like us consider scientific measurements?
