    Robinson, I don't know what precisely itis, but you definitely are one of the very best hosts I've ever watched.  Unpretentious, curious, patient, and open-minded all play a part....  Thank you!

    Great job by Robinson in setting up this discussion and not interrupting the conversation/debate.

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHU_kmvPASc&amp;t=5040">1:24:00</a> Objection! Argumentative. You can&apos;t insist a simple answer takes the form you want.

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHU_kmvPASc&amp;t=2137">35:37</a> - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHU_kmvPASc&amp;t=2145">35:45</a> I thought I&apos;d fallen into indivisible gap in David Albert&apos;s evolution!

    really nice to finally see a juggernaut like David taking Jacob&apos;s theory seriously.

    I need to listen to David Alberts points 3 or more times and I love it

    I would have loved to hear something about Jacob&apos;s theory. Like, one complete sentence without being interrupted.

    This is gold... I wish we had a similar conversation between Stephen Wolfram and an equally prepared David Albert or Tim Maudlin. Those deep, piercing discussions over a new theory, where you have a world-class philosopher of science probing a new theory, in a conversation which travels from the minute to the macro, and from history to theory. Amazing!

    Almost an hour in and I still think we&apos;re working with different perspectives one being completely global and the other being discreet, more later. David is including the entire universe in his representational space, Jacob is speaking about a much narrower and discreet descriptive representational space. This <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHU_kmvPASc&amp;t=5656">1:34:16</a> is seemingly a argument between a orthodox religious perspective and a evolving religious perspective.<br><br>Thank you everyone for sharing your time, work, experience and knowledge, David, Jacob and Robinson, wonderful dialog gentlemen, cheers <br><br>Saved this to the library Robinson, thank you again

    If there&apos;s anything to take away from this, it&apos;s that there&apos;s a great respect to given here to both Jacob and David for the attempts at bridging the gaps between philosophy and physics.
