Rasmus kis nerbeck: What will be the most important thing to teach in schools regarding science? He says we are too reluctant to teach fun, modern, cool physics. The scientific method is a formalized procedure that goes back to francis bacon and his friends of doing science. Simpler theories would get higher credences if they were explained more clearly.

Welcome to the September 2021 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!
