Siddhartha: The novella anxiety is the dizziness of freedom by Ted Jiang describes a device that after performing a quantum measurement to create two branches allows people to communicate. Siddhartha: Is this really likely? How likely is it that you're jumping left or right on stage depending on a quantum measurement leading to a different weather or due to chaos theory? Siddharth: I actually don't know the answer to that question. It's certainly possible, but it's not inevitable because there is chaos and convergence.
Welcome to the March 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!
