Entertaining read, until it ends with an "all men are Socrates" conclusion.

Honestly, it sounds like quack to me.

I could say gravity could be proof of Decartes demon trying to drag us down to a world of heat, and symmetry is evidence of the eternal battle between good and evil. In fact, it sounds the same line of reasoning but with new buzzwords. Except it is centuries old.

I think philosophy is miles ahead anything computational regarding the nature of information. Specially in what we can and cannot know.

Can’t judge the content but this is the second time today that I come across the mass–energy–information equivalence. First time: http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/cup
