Episode notes

In our universe, all matter and life forms are made up of the first generation of particles in the standard model. This is electrons, electron, nutrinos, up quarks and down quarks. The next generation is muons and their nutrino, charmed ind strange qarks. Third generation is tows and their nut rinos, top and bottom carks. All those heavier particles just decay away, leaving us with the first generation. And it's very hard to imagine a small cabal of ultra powerful people pushing around the world in any realistic way.

Welcome to the May 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!
