Thanks for reading and I appreciate the thoughtful comment! Believe it or not the N is for Netflix, not Nvidia. Believe it or not, Nvidia only surpassed Netflix's market cap 5 years ago (after the term was invented).

Regarding the tree in the woods. The only way you can know if there is a tree in the woods is if someone was there to observe it. The same goes for it falling. If nobody is there to observe a tree falling then there is no way to say it has fallen. But I think the deeper point is that the tree is just a higher level expression of an underlying reality that information-based. You see a tree, but when you look at the atoms that make up that tree you find mostly empty space. So what is a tree and what does it mean for it to fall if it is mostly empty space? I think the key takeaway which has been well articulated by Donald Hoffman is that the objects we perceive as real are more like representations on a computer screen or virtual reality headset. They are how we evolved to interact with reality, but that doesn't mean they are actually real. They are representations of reality in our minds.
