If I may, as a YouTuber right at the bottom of the dominance / competence / any sort of hierarchy on YouTube (0 subs on my personal channel and 8 on the channel for my jazz outfit) congratulate you on another great video Paul. (There are probably lobsters on YouTube with more subs than me!) Not that everything in it is correct / true / ?????; but that it is moving the exploration of ideas along and raising questions in a very well mannered fashion. A very important semantic point on the tree falling in the forest: with no sentient observer in the universe there can still be vibrations in the molecules (whatever they are at the deepest quantum level of physics); however there is certainly no sound and probably no tree either. These only exist in the perceptions of a sentient observer who brings into being the rich colourful, audible, tactile etc world we all experience as our consciousness interacts with the particular patterns in the energy and information (or whatever is the nature of the physical universe) out there. Getting the semantics right in a discussion or at least understanding problems raised in the semantics is incredibly important. It is very easy to be pushed in a particular direction because of the language we are using.
