Episode notes

In the Futurama episode, crimes of the hot, the problem of global warming is solved by moving the Earth farther from the Sun. Do you have an opinion or comment on the long-term possibility of controlling the Earth's temperature by adjusting the Earth's orbit? As a bonus question, do you think it would be easier to physically move the entire Earth or to fix global capitalism such that carbon emissions can be reduced quickly?

Welcome to the December 2022 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!

Remember that I take a holiday break at the end of the year, so the next AMA will be at the beginning of February.
