Episode notes

i was absolutely fain of george carlin, not like a super fan. But i always enjoyed his take on things. I don't think that my pronunciation or cadence of the word stuff is influenced by that. Younow, it's not always the case that we know why we do things. These are not things that you can always pinpoint with a lot of precision. So maybe tim gianios says, great podcast with judea pearl. Both agree that causation does not exist in damental physics,. because all physical phenomena work in the same way whether being run forward or backward in time.

Welcome to the August 2022 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.
