What Sara Walker actually said

Sara Walker 13 Jun 2024 Astrobiologist and theoretical physicist at Arizona State University

There’s this assumption that computation is at the base of reality, and I see it at the top of reality, not at the base, because I think computation was built by our biosphere. It’s something that happened after many billion years of evolution. It doesn’t happen in every physical object.
