Episode notes

Igor Vellotich says Noam Chomsky said that science currently recognizes only two concepts, determinacy and randomness. Could you even grasp the possibility that there is anything that goes beyond those? I would like to take them very seriously because I think that democracy is good, all things being equal. The maximum entropy a region of space can contain is higher when the vacuum energy is lower. Decider space or an accelerating universe is characterized by a horizon.

Welcome to the March 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!
