00:00 Intro
06:04 When engineers build something, it has to work.
07:30 Ira's experience with instrumentation
10:45 "If you impose a final judgment on anything, you have lost your connection to the transcendent." Jordan Peterson
12:00 Academic theories versus real life. "Did my plane fly?"
17:35 French Revolution established a top down describing of the world.
19:44 Metre standards in Paris
27:00 Tolerance - Acceptable range of measurement
36:37 Development of standards
39:17 Bottom up standards - we all agree to do this, voluntarily taking up the standard.
40:05 Precision error range can quantify uncertainty. Bias error can't be anticipated.
48:48. Heisenberg and "the smallest thing". What can. I use that's smaller than the smallest thing to get a precise measurement of it?
57:36 Models are models, not truth.
1:05:50 Fundamental epistemological problem is "What's going on in the world?"
1:11:00 Analog v. digital
1:18:00 Marriage of Justice and Mercy
