The podcast discusses the task of eliciting knowledge from an expert or through self-discovery, which can involve complex questions that ordinary cognition may not be able to answer. It also mentions the interpretation of doing X, where liberating things from earlier influences and subjecting them to the tyranny of muscles can help quantify initially unquantified knowledge parameters.

Semantics
Summary

The interpretation of our actions and their effects on the world is done through semantics and the manipulation of variables. Observational studies through systematic operator expressions can assist in understanding the effects of actions when experimentation is not possible.
