information is something you know,therefore knowledge

"What is information" is the answer. Information holds people, culture, and technology together. I don't think he's asking what information is. But information is everything processed in our minds through all of our senses. Everything is matter but matter doesn't become information until it is processed through ones brain. Information requires a third party, being us. ya but anyway who cares

piss poor lecture. what is this guy doing on the faculty of egs...
i've seen real DJs and take theory and philosophy to music at egs but this guy only drops names and pseudo-intellectual one liners.

mouse droppings!

@moonrawk Uh, that's because he teaches music married with philosophy (Adorno, Hegel, etc.) under the Media and Communication Program at the European Graduate School in Saas-fee, Switzerland which lists Slavoj Zizek, Alain Badiou, Judith Butler, Michael Hardt, and Jean Baudrillard (+) among other progressive social theorists and philosophers. Of course anyone who hasn't read any of these people in school or through self-education wouldn't be impressed.

I recommend Ray Kurzweil's website for such inquiries. Avoid the douches like John Searle, and listen to Drexler, Kurzweil, Freitas, Merkle, etc...

You mean like all musicians.

@nepalnt21 well, i have heard that physicists break the universe down thus: matter is energy, and energy is information. but I can't find anyone's exact words on that, so I'm not sure. the essential problem in all these questions is that we are only as good as our perception. everything is information to us, but we really dont know what everything actually is. we create models to explain our perception. A basic example would be that things exist in 3 dimensions, through which we move.

its a really tough question... i doubt there is one right answer to it, either.
i am in no way an expert in physics, but i believe everything in this universe is made of information.
Spooky's a great DJ but he comes off as a pseudo-intellectual ass philosopher.
