"You are an even more complicated arrangement of things" "Hopefully" Very funny! Unexpected humour in a Closer to Truth video.

Excellent discussion. Carlo Rovelli is so articulate on the philosophy of physics. In this discussion, I think he is talking about emergence, somewhere between strong and weak emergence. He is also a linguist, going deeper into the meaning of words such that polar opposite meanings should be impossible, only debatable ones. At that level, there is no basis for certainty.
