I like the work of David Deutsch. Aside from his excellent books "The Beginning of Infinity" and "The Fabric of Reality", a lot of his ideas are scattered among podcasts, interviews, articles, and radio appearances. Since I often cannot remember where and when something was said that might be of interest to me, I've taken it upon myself and my AI to get all of it together. All the credit goes to David Deutsch as well as the interviewers, writers, publishers, podcasters, and showmakers, to whom I've linked wherever possible. There are still some mistakes found here and there, and I've only thus far had the time to scan through most of the transcripts to correct them. If there are any mistakes I haven't caught yet do let me know.

Every entry is searchable in English. When I cannot publish the complete work locally, its page indexes the questions, claims, names, and technical terms and links to the complete source.
