Episode notes

The current moment in the histo of the universe is very, very special. We are in a relatively low entropy state compared to thermal equilibrium. So that's why entropy can still increase toward the past. But without the past hypothesis, it also increases toward the future. It's equivalent to saying you predict radiation coming toward the sun,. ok? Dan pye says there could be room to somewhat expand the meaning of the much less used word conciliante and capture what is usually meant by weak emergence.

Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! 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!
