Johann Falk: We have a sample size of one when it comes to determining how often life evolves into civilization level life. Do you agree? He says he doesn't think there's any civilizations in the sea that are different than the ones on land. "I do not prioritize trying to do something like that as much as I do other things with my time"

Welcome to the February 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!

The big news this month is the successful awarding of the first ever Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship. Congratulations to Lyat Melese and Rehman Hassan! We continue to collection donations for next year’s scholarship contest.
