Just had one if these long discussions with a smart mathematician, and now I notice that sometimes I get the impression that computationalism (the only working philosophical edifice left) is non-obvious to 90% of people. I find that genuinely puzzling.

What about
@DavidDeutschOxf's argument about the possibility of unbounded computational steps via harnessing ever increasing energy in a Big Crunch or, given current physics, via dark energy in a universe that for ever expands?pic.twitter.com/cUOLuOCZTE

Here, unbounded does not mean infinite, but that you might always able to squeeze out another step! But apart from that, I doubt that it works. For instance, are there infinitely many possible configurations of information in the universe?
