"I don't think our intuitions should mean very much, honestly. When we're talking about the beginning of the universe, what does my intuition know about anything at all?" "We get an intuition just from biology and from our experience of the world but as we learn more about theories of the universe that are beyond our everyday experience, our intuition can grow to encompass the way that those theories work," he says.

Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — 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!
