Episode notes

If you believe in many worlds, then the reality is different than our experience. We have to up date our notion of what we mean by a single set of selves. I would advocate that each one of them is a separate self. But it also doesn't matter as long as you don't sort of try to group yourself into some collective b The fact that more copies of you will split off and live in different universes is irrelevant you personally.

Welcome to the October 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — 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!
