Excellent Conversations with Tyler episode talking to David Deutsch (apart from the whole multiverse thing about which I am not competent to judge, and nor do I care).

@jeremycherfas Thanks, perfectly timed coincidence that you mentioned this. Two days ago I wouldn't have known who David Deutsch was but yesterday I finished Neal Stephensons' "Fall; or Dodge in Hell" and one of the main influences he cites for the book is "The Fabric of Reality" by Deutsch.

@MrHenko David and I were at school and college together (but mostly separately).

@MrHenko I have not. I really do find the multiverse ideas just do not interest me. I might be tempted by some of his other books.

@jeremycherfas I'm not familiar enough with those ideas to have an opinion, but I did enjoy "Fall" and if Stephenson says it owes some ideas to Deutsch than it's probably worth at least checking out the podcast episode.
