Episode notes

This chapter examines the interplay between fundamental physics and political selection methods, focusing on the ER equals EPR conjecture and its implications for quantum entanglement. It critiques traditional election practices and explores sortition as a potential solution while discussing the nuances of decision-making across different systems. The chapter further draws parallels between quantum mechanics and economic inequalities, emphasizing the need for innovative institutions to address societal imbalances.

Welcome to the August 2024 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!
