Really enjoying the talk! Thanks for the rec!
I’m primarily interested in human minds, but the deepest principles of knowledge-creation are also present - and often better understood - in biological evolution.
Have any other similar recs?

Highly recommend this fascinating talk.
Biological evolution is the best-understood example of knowledge-creation.
That makes it extremely instructive in thinking about knowledge-creation in human minds. twitter.com/dela3499/statu…
