Ed Witten is brilliant, but his answer hear is simplistic

>There is a reason why top scientists make lousy philosophers
Yeah they don't assume things or pull stuff out of their asses because they don't have a chip on their shoulder or a need to constantly try to convince everyone that they're intelligent.

He probably reads Chalmers.

He sounds liek a total fag. All the memes made me think his voice'd be liek 10hz but he sounds like a literal autist.

This fight between theoretical physicists and philosophers is kike slide propaganda.
They all have to act against it because true philosophy teaches you how to think on a concrete low level. And not abstract bullshit with no core. And some people don't like that. Sounds like a conspiracy theory I know but it's true. (((People))) don't want us thinking rationally, but like us thinking arbitrary concepts and not believe in truth, only opinions

So what? Just cause he's a top physicist also should mean he should have a very complex philosophical view and answer to an interview targeted for pop-science interview?
>hear
Many top philosophers have the same view, simplicity and complexity is completely irrelevant, it doesn't mean he's lousy because he speaks of one or the other.
