Episode notes

In many worlds, the common thing that everyone agrees on is there is a wave function. That's what you have to agree on if you believe in many worlds. How we take the quantum state of the universe and divide it up into worlds is a human convenience. Zach McKinney: What would you hypothesize to be the core values that enable human societies to survive and thrive in increasingly hazardous times? Will McCaskill: Treat people as ends not means; Do unto others as you would do them.

Welcome to the November 2022 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!
