In this episode I cover more of David Deutsch's contributions to philosophy. In order these are:
1. The true function of evidence in science
2. How the quantum multiverse is a testable theory
3. All evils are due to insufficient knowledge and how morality is about "What to do next".
4. The mathematician's misconception (i.e: that mathematical proof is independent of the known laws of physics).
