Episode notes

You don't need to know the microphysics to understand what's happening at the mackero level. Once you understand the interaction of light and the gases, that's what you need for the higher level computation such as climate change. So this is emergence at work. Youn ned any quanta mechanics for that. And that's all the science that you really need at the sent wel.

Welcome to the June 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! We are inaugurating a slightly different publication schedule, in which these monthly AMA will take the place of one of the regular Monday episodes, rather than being in addition to all of them. A slight tweak that will hopefully make my obligations a little more manageable.

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. Enjoy!
