Episode notes

For the universe as a whole, should we think of it in terms of the pure state of wave function or a density matrix? The thing is that for the thing about density matrices is there's no experimental difference. My own art style favorites have been evolving, I think, a little bit with time. For a long time, just regular old abstract art was my favorite,. which in some sense is minimal. But Jackson Pollock or Mark Rothko are not going to have a lot of tiny, small-scale details.

Welcome to the May 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!
