Episode notes

Oleg ruvinski says, in your recent excellent talk with judea pearl, you had an interesting disagreement on antrope. You brought an example of a low entropy state as a triangle of billiard balls set up on a table, and of a high antropy state as all these same balls after they are hit by the cube ball. Judea objected to it by saying that difference here is in the eyes of the beholder. We humans understand and recognize triangles, but we don't recognize the pattern created by the cubeball. Oleg: Is paialy the same question?

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!
