Conjecture Institute's third book: Bold Conjectures, Volume I: Select Interviews of David Deutsch We expect it to be available for purchase in Q1 2026 🙂📚
Conjecture Institute Advisor @DavidDeutschOxf and podcast host @ToKTeacher discuss how to experimentally test whether or not gravity obeys quantum mechanics. The BMV (Bose-Marletto-Vedral) experiment is far cheaper than running the LHC and could revolutionize physics.
Excerpt from Lords of the Cosmos, by @ConjectureInst Fellow @arjunkhemani and President @ChipkinLogan "For the first time, people could direct channels of energy regardless of where, when, and why they needed it--creativity had torn asunder yet one more of Nature's shackles."
"A hard money (Bitcoin) standard raises the cost of spreading anti-rational memes and raises the returns on spreading rational memes." ~Conjecture Institute President @ChipkinLogan
1 million views on this today. @naval at his best on all things The Beginning of Infinity. The book that’s had the biggest impact on my life and it’s not even close.
My conversation with @naval. Enjoy! (0:00) - The Theory of Everything (4:48) - How do you know what’s true? (7:51) - Groups search for consensus, individuals search for truth (13:07) - We have never run out of a single resource (15:25) - Are we destroying the Earth? (17:48) -…
We (Founders @ChipkinLogan, @astupple, @DKedmey, and all of our Fellows) are enormously grateful to the generosity of Naval Ravikant @naval, without which Conjecture Institute would not exist.

“People are the only entities in existence that can bring about any transformation that is allowed by the laws of physics—we can recreate not just the nuclear fusion found inside stars or biochemical reactions inside a cell, but also objects that neither the lifeless cosmos nor…
I'm looking forward to this! People are awesome, and we need to recognize this.

Optimism incoming.
Lords of the Cosmos, by Conjecture Institute Fellow @arjunkhemani & President @ChipkinLogan, comes out this fall. This marks Conjecture Institute's second book of the year. Table of Contents 👇
Simplicity isn't the lack of complexity; it's the clarity of understanding.
We have plans. Some of our plans are in motion, while others we can only pursue with more funding. If you like what we've done so far and want to see more, consider donating. conjectureinstitute.org
The work of @ConjectureInst fellows is made possible because the philosophy that drives it is starkly different to almost all existing structures that fund researchers as @PaulRRobichaud explains here:
Tickets close in 5 days. This is an interesting conference - no preamble, no "I'm a this studying that," just critical rationalism fans who know each other from X getting together to talk about ideas. Come hang out in Philadelphia Sept 26-28.
Another excellent, wide-ranging yet coherent video essay. Packed with argument. Like a Bronowski monograph.
