ABOUT THIS EPISODE
I speak with physicist David Deutsch about the universal constructor, a machine that can be programmed to cause any physically possible transformation.
Note-this interview was recorded in early 2022.
In the time since this interview was recorded, David has stated that disobedience is by far the primary reason that humans and human societies aren't universal constructors.
