Episode notes

In the actual Hamiltonian of the actual world, there's a clear distinction between position and momentum. What they mean by saying that space and time are on equal footing is both coordinates on a four dimensional space time. Mikhail Korbokko, Korobko, sorry,. Korobko says, after years of listening to mindscape and especially these amas. I notice that some of my opinions become more aligned with yours. Not necessarily because I agree with them, but simply due to long exposure. How do you oppose such a process yourself? Is it necessary to balance exposure to different sources in order to keep a high degree of intellectual independence?

Welcome to the July 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.

We're experimenting with a new benefit for Patreon supporters: short video (or audio-only) reflections by me on the podcast that just happened. If you've been wondering whether to join up, this could be the time.
