Chalmer says information is key to understanding what happens in the universe. He believes there are similarities and differences between a biological brain and a computer. Chalmer's new book on virtual worlds will be published next month.
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!
