Noble gas says he believes we are making progress on understanding the origin of the universe. But there will be involved in that at some point, a list of brute facts. There is more than one possible world and even if there was something special about our world, it doesn't explain why the world is that way. Noble gas: "I see no hope for potentially understanding the origins of the universe"
Welcome to the June 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! We are inaugurating a slightly different publication schedule, in which these monthly AMA will take the place of one of the regular Monday episodes, rather than being in addition to all of them. A slight tweak that will hopefully make my obligations a little more manageable.
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!
