Brett’s work distilling and clarifying how to think about complex philosophical and scientific ideas has dramatically shifted my worldview. This podcast and subsequent reading of the applicable books has expanded my toolset for critical thinking beyond anything I ever experienced in college or graduate school. I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough; it is my favorite of all time. Brett, thank you, and please keep it up!

Brett takes physicist concepts and breaks them down in a clear and engaging way, a must listen!

I’m a non-physicist (a busy physician, with only very basic knowledge of physics) who is very much interested in understanding the reality of our universe. I have found David Deutsch to be one of the most fascinating writers I have ever come across, and his ideas have inspired me and changed some of my most basic conceptions of objective reality. His theories (and books), however, are so dense with revolutionary thoughts that they require time and commitment to understand and digest. That’s where Brett Hall’s podcast comes in. To me, it has been an indispensable companion to the chapters in DD’s books. My strategy has been to listen to Brett’s corresponding episode before and after reading each book chapter. Brett is himself an amazing intellect who really excels at explaining and putting into context the various concepts in DD’s work. Very helpful, I’m a big fan of both of you.

I’m only a few chapters in, but so far this has been an incredible companion to reading Beginning of Infinity.

Done in a clear and engaging way.

Clear but thorough explanation of Deutsch/Popper
