Episode notes

I'm spending less time on social media in general and you know this is part of just a general thought. I actually am not going to pretend to be able to predict the future about Twitter. You know I'm not abandoning it yet. Maybe they will grow into it. Something like Twitter is really really useful. I've made friends. I've learned a lot but it's also kind of a mess in many many ways.

Welcome to that beloved Mindscape annual tradition, the Holiday Message. An opportunity for a quicker and less-well-thought-out solo episode to round off another year. Ironically, this year the theme is the importance of slowing down and thinking things out really well! Illustrated by two things that have been on my mind: a couple of internet/tech kerfuffles (Elon Musk buying Twitter, Sam Bankman-Fried and the collapse of FTX), and the distinction between foundations of physics and “regular” physics. See if you can dimly perceive the thread that ties them together.
