Episode notes

i'm very glad that people are trying out of the box a unconventional approaches to fundamental physic. But i think there is a bit too much conventionality in how we approach these very difficult problems. I don't think that wolfam's project has a great chance of success, but i do think that it's worth supporting for that reason. It's very hard to support research for an approach in fundamental physics that you personally don't approve of. You don't think it's very likely to succeed, but yu are going to aprove doing it just because should be doing different approaches. And that's what i try to do.

Welcome to the July 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.

Big news this week! Mindscape is working with Bold.org to sponsor a college scholarship for students interested in studying the fundamental nature of reality. Listeners can find more details and donate here. Our immediate goal is to raise $10,000, and I will match the first $5,000, so this shouldn’t be too hard for us here. Hopefully we can raise much more! And hopefully this will help encourage someone who might not otherwise have been able to study this kind of topic.
