Episode notes

I think that as far as personal benefits are concerned, you could easily make the case that individual human beings would be better off not spending too much time following the news. But there is some social obligation to be a good citizen also. So I'm in favor of knowing just enough. Kyle Stevens says, I've seen a lot of pop physics articles and videos recently postulating that we live inside of a black hole. The idea itself seems reasonable at first take, but what would we look for to confirm whether this is true or not? We have no evidence that there is anything called the outside.

Welcome to the February 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!

The big news this month is the successful awarding of the first ever Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship. Congratulations to Lyat Melese and Rehman Hassan! We continue to collection donations for next year’s scholarship contest.
