When I was a kid, we didn't go very often to the Sixers games. We would go maybe once a year or something like that. And whenever anyone got fouled, which happened a lot back in those days, everyone would jump to their feet and either boo or cheer depending on how it went. One of these days and the rivalry will be rejoined with gusto. Just saying entropy increases doesn't come anywhere close to capturing everything that is going on. But I think that's an interesting part of the problem, not a reason not to think about it.
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!
