Tony Padilla says he's open-minded about whether the universe is finite or infinite. As far as quantifying and modeling spread of ideas and evolution of values, he has no idea if that's a well posed question. He does have a half-written paper to finish on a completely finite discrete version of quantum mechanics. And I haven't dressed up for Halloween in a while but which of your costumes are most proud of?
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!
