Episode notes

The limits of language lie at the heart of many problems in physics and philosophy. Darren Rogers says, how would we ever know if we arrived at a brute fact? David Dubrow asks about the possible limits of our episodic memory. Nita Parikh: We are on the cusp of changing those things in dramatic, interesting ways.

Welcome to the June 2023 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!
