I made this video on the fundamental basis of reality. Starting with the observation that physical bits of matter are no more than configurations of information (the argument for this is in part I, I’m linking to part II), we proceed to the root of the existence of information: logic, and the necessary and natural form it automatically takes.

I hope you’ll find it interesting, whether you ultimately agree or disagree: [What is Existence? (Part 2 of 3) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFQ36zXbm00)
