Highlights
The concept of the present being infinitely thin and the philosophical implications of its duration.
The philosophical inquiry into the nature of time and its movement, a branch of philosophy called metaphysics.
Metaphysics as the field of philosophy that addresses questions beyond the scope of science.
The humorous anecdote about a philosopher turned database admin, illustrating the practical limitations of metaphysical inquiry.
The importance of metaphysics in understanding the fundamental nature of reality, including the nature of particles and time.
The problem of induction and the philosophical challenge it poses to our understanding of the consistency of reality.
The exploration of causality and the question of free will in the context of a deterministic universe.
The notion of transental idealism and the idea of a world of appearances versus the world of ultimate reality.
The philosophical question of personal identity and what makes us the same person over time.
The concept of death and the continuity of mental patterns beyond physical existence.
The existential question of the meaning of life and the role of etiquette and politeness in society.
The philosophical musings on the nature of reality, questioning whether we invent or discover concepts like numbers.
The reflection on the human condition and the randomness of nature, pondering whether it is inherent or a matter of choice.

The reminder of the ever-present mystery of existence and the endless questions it presents.
Transcripts
so there's the past let's say that
stretches back billions of years but it
is finite it began somewh probably and
there's the future ahead of us
unfortunately let's say billions of
years at least but it's also finite it
will end somewh probably but what about
the present how long is now think about
it is the present infinitely thin this
moment we find ourselves in now can't be
infinite shortly infinite things would
occupy everywhere and every when
simultaneously so couldn't move but the
present is moving well is the present a
finite duration then M maybe but if it
was then couldn't we exactly isolate the
moment the present gives way to the past
the nanosecond that events get
crystallized and start trailing behind
us couldn't we zoom in and in until we
could see the Border point the threshold
of time itself as now becomes was and if
we could would that be the present no
idea not like there's an answer anyway
but if you've ever thought about this
stuff you may be glad to hear it's not
just the kind of obligatory small talk
you have to make at the local Opium Den
but a branch of philosophy Millennia old
called metaphysics so philosophy is
where questions go that science can't
answer metaphysics is where questions go
that science tried to answer dropped out
for a semester moved to Sardinia spent
several months on a beach doing Molly
with malaca salesman called Federico
said eh screw it became a database admin
adopted a Sheba enu and lived
contentedly never thinking about that
nonsense again metaphysics meta from the
Greek for Beyond or after and physics
from the Greek for lifelong Chastity
asking questions about the fundamental
nature of reality yes not where does the
time go but why does time move at all
not what particles are there but why are
there particles in the first place ah
sure but this stuff doesn't apply to
anything in the real world is just
pompous horseshit you might say uh yeah
probably is I might reply how is it
going to help with world peace or space
exploration you might say h yeah that's
true I might reply oh where's the toilet
by the way you might say I down the
corridor to the right I might reply
cheers you might say then a few moments
later ah I've fallen into a pit of
snakes ouch ooch my eyes my spleen ha I
might reply it was deception the toilet
is in fact upstairs I actually directed
you into the snake area where the snakes
are kept perpetually oiled and slippery
so you can't tie them together and a
make shift ladder and Escape so take
that for shitalking philosophy a oof you
might say and so forth to be honest
there's no real danger actually the
snakes are all vegetarians I mean except
for Cerberus Devourer of Flesh King of
the blood drinking hell
spawn he's vegan but metaphysics does
matter you despicable jellied eel like
if you want to build a sweet ass bridge
then that's an engineering problem but
you'll need some good materials and
calculations and whatnot so then that's
a physics problem but you'll need to
trust the matter the bridges made of
will actually keep existing and the laws
of nature will keep applying to it which
then that's a metaphysical problem
talking of which hey what's this oh it's
a refreshing jug of angria which is
prepared the same way as sangria but
with a few drops of Tobasco and you
drink it while thinking of all the
disparaging things your father said to
you on the way home from Orchestra
practice that you certainly don't
vividly remember 20 years later yes yes
but what is it fermented fruit carbon
atoms that sort of stuff and down again
sub atomically electrons protons spin
networks who knows at this point and
under that no idea but something is
keeping the liquid being something is
making it so electrons don't spiral into
Atomic nuclei so chemical bonds don't
suddenly blow up there is a force or
habit maintaining things the universe
remembers where all of its molecules are
at any one time and applies consistent
laws to them but why why do we trust
that reality and everything inside it
will stay consistent that the sun will
still come up tomorrow just because it's
done it before why would that mean it
happens in the future this is called the
problem of induction no one solved it
probably no one ever will hey ho and the
same goes for our modern concept of
causality and freedom how is a decision
possible you're watching this video now
because you made a choice to be here
because of your awful taste and that
began in your mind the space where you
weigh things rationally and make
decisions sure but your mind runs on
language and history all the stuff we've
inherited from deados and pastos who
we're soon to become ourselves of course
the 21st century paradigms we can't but
help thinking and all that runs on
biology copses and neurons and oxytocin
and [Â __Â ] the Machinery of you and under
that is matter the particles and
interactions that everything is made out
of and where is a decision in that isn't
it all a deterministic causal Network
that got rolling billions of years ago
anyway one that we're not just a part of
but made of and doesn't that make
decisions and Free Will impossible that
from the moment we were born from the
moment everything was born you and I
have been destined to arrive at this
exact moment here and now because our
minds and bodies are just as bound up in
the unfolding of events as every other
blob of matter in the universe and free
as we may feel we've never truly made a
single choice about anything and if Free
Will was possible somehow is that to say
that we could step outside of the
scripted drama of matter playing out
across the Great and ancient stage of
SpaceTime and imagine that we bipedal
meat units could make a decision somehow
miraculously undetermined by everything
around us that led up to this exact
moment that just for a second we could
unprecedented undetermined stand outside
of Ultimate
[Music]
Reality talking of
which what is Apple how to describe
Apple crunchy you yeah
green sometimes quite liquidy but those
are just adjectives those are just
appearances doesn't there have to be
something behind the adjectives that
makes an apple real can we have no
can we ever know stuff Beyond
appearances cuz until 150 years ago no
one knew a thing about radio waves then
we learned how to produce them and
receive them and suddenly they were
everywhere but they were everywhere long
before that stars are bombarding us with
radio all the time that's how radio
telescopes work we just can't see that
type of em radiation with our eyes and
suddenly we discovered it
technologically and yeah and next came
X-rays and gamma rays and T on and
toaster fetishes and whatever else and
it turned out there's a whole bunch more
phenomena we didn't know have been there
all along so it might be reasonable to
assume that there's the world of
appearances where we live where apples
are green and crunchy and then
presumably there's the world of Ultimate
Reality where everything you know
actually really is where there live
apples Beyond adjectives the things in
themselves as they are objects in their
fullness Beyond just appearance Beyond
just what we can pick up with our senses
trans ental idealism is what we would
call this position if we're being
pretentious actually we'd say the same
if we're not being pretentious cuz
that's its [Â __Â ] name to think that a
toothbrush a paperclip a sock has a
hidden nature beyond our senses the
secret life of dull objects and for that
matter what's a human life since we were
children almost every cell in our bodies
has been replaced and each memory is now
a memory of a memory what makes us the
same person as when we were 3 years old
can't be the hardware because most of
the hardware has been swapped out it
must be the pattern of us that's been
repeated with copy DNA and replaced
cells calling us back into being over
and over and at the end of the day
aren't we just patterns anyway pumpkin
potion cat snake pumpkin potion cat
snake what are his intentions who can
say they are surely dastardly judging by
that face but hopefully the phrase
pumpkin potion cat snake is now firmly
lodged in your mental ears and has
become a small part of the pattern of
you your current mind State anyway but
in a few minutes you'll forget it and
the phrase will be out of your mind
again pumpkin potion cat snake and when
that happens will that be a different
you will your current mind State have
been obliterated and replaced until the
next time you think about the words
pumpkin potion cat snake blessed is he
in the highest won't that be a new
person then a new incarnation of you and
where does that logic end are we a long
succession of uses Through Time divided
minute by minute year by year as the
pattern of changes thousands of versions
of ourselves across our
lifespans the broomstick has a little
saddle on it anyway let's talk about
death Christmas years ago at my parents'
place my grandmother's there and she's
asking about the internet so my dad and
I give her the tablet and tell her in
your hands right now is almost all of
modern human knowledge ask it anything
anything you've ever wanted to know I
can ask it anything she said anything I
said she she squinted shrewdly cocked
her head and with a tart smile asked
what are next week's lottery numbers it
doesn't do the future I said you said
anything she replied gave the tablet
back and hobbled off to mix another gin
tonic and never asked about the internet
again she died a while back now but
whenever I find myself in a conversation
I would prefer not to be part of ah yes
Homeopathy I am sure that has any
clinical benefit whatsoever I catch
myself adopting exactly her same tones
of cynical exhaustion her physical
patterns have ceased but her mental
patterns persist I carry them with me I
wish to keep them safe from time which
of her patterns was more real the
physical one or the mental one both
neither isn't it the same for all of us
as though we were all ripples in a pond
and even when our bodies fail our
thoughts and our actions can go on
indefinitely what is a human really as
the thing in itself in Ultimate Reality
a splodge of atoms with eyebrows on top
a temporary assemblage of food that
thinks a matter pattern that mattered
hopefully to someone somewh
whenever so that's metaphysics kind of
the Bedrock of reality where we
understand virtually nothing and it's
strange to think that you can peer down
into it for free at any moment the
Beauty and the horror of the thing
Sunday morning if You' slept well those
first few moments of waking up when
you're not even sure of your own name
and suddenly you think huh I get another
day on Earth right on and I can move my
limbs just by thinking about them neat
and what is all this surreal dream [Â __Â ]
my subconscious dumped on me during the
night wouldn't Waking Life seem just as
weird if it wasn't so familiar none of
this is normal is it did we invent
numbers or discover them does the set of
all sets contain itself why do I have a
mind's eye but not a mind's nose I
wonder if other people [Â __Â ] hate
themselves are we supposed to be doing
something meaningful with our time
meaningful to who strange to come across
old photos of long Dead faces all their
rituals and seriousness did they worry
that everything was for nothing they
must have their sand castles washed away
as we build ours now is that why we have
etiquette and politeness why we sign
emails kind regards just so no one start
screaming in the middle of the street
that we're lost in space that there's no
Center to anything all those people on
the subway you briefly make eye contact
with and without warning you suddenly
think Jesus of the thousands of species
we could have been what are the odds
that we'd all be humans of the eras we
could have been born into the millions
of years behind perhaps the thousands
ahead what were the odds we'd all end up
in this Century in this decade in this
train carriage together now and to think
that shortly those doors will open and
one by one we'll all trudge off into
time where will we go to think that if
we only knew somewhere already out in
the world right now maybe there's the
tree that'll become the desk that
someone will use to design the first
engine to push humans out to the Stars
and to think somewhere already out in
the world right now there's a patch of
ground where the next generation of
Doomsday weapons will detonate for the
first time where machines will be built
in the service of Hades and we will
outwit our Guardian Angels what is it
for anything to have a nature atoms or
arars and why is our nature so
predictably violent and shortsighted
maybe we're incapable of seeing Beyond
it the way an ant could never fathom a
written word was our nature built in or
do we decide it and if we do decide it
then wasn't it built in that we would
decide the randomness of it that on
Monday you can hold your hand to your
face and almost fall over at the sheer
complexity of the structure of your skin
at the idea you even have a body and
then on Tuesday the best you can do is
get out of bed and even that hurts
spiritually is life just really
anti-entropy with stars burning out and
galaxies scheduled to collide but
Meanwhile we're creating all these new
forms down on Earth writing stuff
building stuff mathematizing stuff where
did the original novelty come from and
why does anything change and why does
entropy he go in this direction I am
something everything is doing huh that's
weird to think that one part of me is
myself my name my shoes my doubts but
somehow I'm everything too matter that
thinks is a person or a person that
thinks they're matter either way it's
quite nice to know there's always
metaphysics that however bored we get
however sad or lost there's forever a
crack in the fog the constant reminder
that we live in a mystery bigger than we
can ever understand and it isn't
esoteric it requires no telescope or
lasers to reveal it's available every
second of the day wrapped in the strange
Anarchy of how weird being is where
answers are hard to come by but at least
the questions are ours do dogs go to
heaven what's reality for how long is
now the dogs go to heaven what's reality
for how long is
now
