Episode notes

They discuss the concept of identical individuals in different scenarios and the challenges of justifying scientific hypotheses and values. They also address the question of what someone who has ideas about the fundamental laws of physics should do to raise the level of their ideas. Additionally, they discuss the possibility of baby universes and what an observer would see before and after falling into a black hole.

Welcome to the February 2024 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!
