Conversations between David Deutsch and Lulie Tanett about topics ranging from emotions, AGI, reason and fun. Epistemology applied to everything. ”Reason Is Fun” is the idea that what is rational is the same as what is fun – that the fields of epistemology, morality and enjoyment are all deeply interconnected and compatible.
Lulie asks David Deutsch probing questions about the 'fun criterion', and they explore why it's necessary for rational thought.
They also discuss:
- Difference between mindless fun and fun-criterion 'fun'
- What about conflicts between explicit theories and what seems fun?
- What is suffering?
- Is anger good?
- Debating whether anger is an appropriate response to external suffering
- Creativity, conflicting theories and problems
- Do we need bodies and feelings to think?
- What makes the difference between enjoyable and suffering situations?
