I have mentioned this paper by Susskind on the kurzweilai forum. I always look for stuff like this, to buttress my emotive needs for crap like faster than light,

No problem with faster than light, like tachyons.

The real nonsense is with "infinite speed", or instantaneousness, like with physical non local action or interaction at a distance. No problem with infinite and highly non local statistical interference though, we got them already in arithmetic for the classical 1p views.



or an afterlife,

That is the subject of (machine's) theology (machine's one when we assume computationalism).

I get that in the machine's classic theology, the religious attitude becomes eventually equal to the scientific attitude, which is mainly humility and modesty and extreme cautiousness in the communication. The understanding that we can communicate only beliefs (assumption, theories, always with an interrogation mark), and never knowledge as such.

Note that this statement would be a blaspheme if presented as scientifically justifiable, but the blaspheme is avoided as it is presented as a theorem on arithmetically correct machine, and , with mechanism, no correct machine can ever "scientifically" or rationally justify the claim that she is a correct machine. She can only hope for it. It belongs to G* minus G, that is the true but non provable (by the correct machine) propositions.

If you are interested in afterlife, study logic (or train yourself in remembering dreams, or smoke salvia, (if legal in your country 'course), but I guess it is better to avoid all those who claim to know the truth on the matter).


but o' course it usually don't work. My bad, but still damn interesting.
