Penrose is a determinist who believes in Laplace's determinism, which belongs to the mathematical God (or Spinoza's God) not human. He also confuses inconsistency with incompleteness. At the beginning he said inconsistency, then he switched to incompleteness for the later part of the video. Any human knowledge in the epistemological sense, including Penrose's own theory, is incomplete and non-deterministic in its nature. So it is not a surprise that quantum mechanics is an incomplete but consistent theory. The philosophy of physical determinism, i.e., Penrose's belief, is unfortunately an inconsistent theory. Check Eugene Khutoryansky's video "Quantum Measurements are Entanglement" to see the argument that collapse does NOT require a subjective observer. The term "(probabilistic) event outcome" is mathematician's choice of words for physicist's term "wave function collapse". In other words, a quantum wave function collapses in the quantum field simply works just like a probabilistic event occurs (e.g., flip a coin).

As far as I know, CO2 level and atmosphere temperature of modern days are very low compared to the average values in the earth history. The average temperature of the Jurassic Period was 3 celsius/6 fahrenheit degrees higher than today's temperature. Also in Late Jurassic Peroid the temperature was even higher. Yet, life boomed during the Jurassic Period. Almost all the largest animals ever existed on earth came from the Jurassic Period. Ask the so-called climate-change experts to explain this.

@ubuntuposix Dude, are you expecting democracy in ANY communist regime? What did you smoke this morning?

@ubuntuposix Dude, learn some state-of-art science please. If you had ever heard of NP-completeness problems, you would have known that your centralized deterministic solution (we computational scientists call it Las Vegas algorithm) only works in a simplistic system with a small complexity metric (in term of system size and heterogeneity). When the complexity metric surpasses a threshold, your centralized solution FAILS unconditionally.

@shawnduddridge Dude, learn some state-of-art science please. If you had ever heard of NP-completeness problems, you would have known that your centralized deterministic solution (we computational scientists call it Las Vegas algorithm) only works in a simplistic system with a small complexity metric (in term of system size and heterogeneity). When the complexity metric surpasses a threshold, your centralized solution FAILS unconditionally. Afterwards all feasible solutions left are called Monte-Carlo algorithms with 1-sided or 2-sided errors. And acquiring more time and more resources won't help you, because the probability of solving the hardest NP problems decreases EXPONENTIALLY as the complexity metric grows LINEARLY. Unfortunately the exponential functions have this math property called "memory-less", i.e., no matter how long the time goes by the situation is exactly like what you were at the very beginning.

@shawnduddridge No, NP-complete problems are OMNIPRESENT. The Complexity Theory is a state-of-art branch of science newly developed in the past 5 decades. But the scientific truth is ALWAYS there, NOT newly developed or hypothetical. I am currently writing a book to fuse economics and complexity theory together. The fundamental problem of your communist and Keynesian buddies is that they have no idea of the "about-face" nature of the hard problems (aka. NP-complete problems) we humans are facing. In a toy system your centralized deterministic solutions work perfectly. But in a complex system your centralized deterministic solutions fail unconditionally. There is an ambiguous area between the two extremes. That's the root cause of all debates. In other words, it's very clear that centralized deterministic solutions work in a family, a squad, or a small start-up company. And it is also very clear that centralized deterministic solutions fail in a large-scale heterogeneous society (with more than 20 million population and after a civil industrial revolution). It's NOT clear, thus debatable, whether centralized solutions work in a system between the two extremes, for example, a big company with 100k employees, a microstate like Singapore, etc.

It just proved his point, human beings are destructive at least half of time.

The faculty committees are basically unions in universities. Most of them won't allow this type of lectures which don't fit their union minds and narratives.

@callumw5 <== Only in a sick commie mind is this propaganda.

@henrydoone7554 Communism is hell and capitalism is NOT heaven. Dude, if you believe anything in this physical world is heaven, then you need to see a shrink. Entrepreneur capitalism (aka. industrial capitalism) is the best thing human civilization has ever implemented. See Max Weber's Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism for details. Wall-street capitalism (aka. financial capitalism) is bad, because nowadays financial institutes (such as US fed reserve) are just like Holy Roman Empire with its leader "elected" by a medieval style pseudo-election.

@awonderchild7935 Your definition of "communism" is a delusional utopia. It doesn't exist in reality, only in your mind.

@ubuntuposix Again, your definition of "communism" is a delusional utopia. It doesn't exist in reality, only in your mind. The communism in reality is always a subcategory of collectivism/governentism/socialism. Check English dictionaries. In our English-speaking world, socialism refers to collectivism or governmentism. This is the left we talk about in Anglo-American English speaking world. Fascism is political left and ethnic right. It is NOT as right as you think. FYI, we English speakers normally regard socialism/collectivism as the political left, internationalism as the ethic left, individualism/Calvinism as the political right, nationalism as the ethic right. So, communism or any international socialism is both political left and ethnic left; fascism or any national socialism is political left but ethnic right. Capisce?

There are a lot of sociopaths in every government and UN. This is a historical fact, and a present fact.
