Episode notes

I have very low expectations the world will effectively deal with climate change. I'm entirely in favor of doing technological and scientific development on ways that we can remove greenhouse gases from the air. If a telescope similar to the James Webb Space Telescope was at the other end of our galaxy, or halfway across the universe, would it be able to determine that life, intelligent life, exists here? Probably not is the short answer.

Welcome to the October 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. Enjoy!
