Episode notes

Time passes, time is real, time exists outside of the mind. But under what circumstances and exactly how do we appreciate it passing? Do we experience it passing, do we feel the passage of time? And I do think that it's a subtle question. Ultimately, the answer is because entropy is increasing. After you're dead, time will still be passing, but you will not be experiencing it.

Welcome to the June 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!
