I got to see Richard Dawkins in Dallas Texas on 9/4/24 and picked up a copy of his newest book: The Genetic Book of the Dead. I am looking forward to start reading it soon.

“The purpose of high-level sciences is to enable us to understand emergent phenomena, of which the most important are, as we shall see, life, thought and computation. ...
“Quantum theory is, as I have said, one such theory. But the other three main strands of explanation through which we seek to understand the fabric of reality are all ‘high level’ from the point of view of quantum physics. They are the theory of evolution (primarily the evolution of living organisms), epistemology (the theory of knowledge) and the theory of computation (about computers and what they can and cannot, in principle, compute).”
― David Deutsch, The Fabric of Reality
