First principle | Explanation | Implication |
---|---|---|
Everything that doesn't violate the laws of physics can (and does) happen in reality | The does part refers to the multiverse. | Arguments that violate the laws of physics are akin to invoking the supernatural and therefore wrong. |
Everything that can occur in and influence reality, can be expressed computationally (including thoughts and knowledge creation) | Thinking is a form of computation
You have to understand how it works in order to encode it into a program. Induction is therefore wrong. | |
Knowledge creation is the most significant reality-influencing event | The idea that life and humans are a meaningless cosmic spec of scum is entirely wrong | |
Not just physical matter, but abstractions can influence reality | Reductionism doesn't suffice to explain why things are happening. They can just give a blank picture of the event |
