Episode notes

The history of humankind, to the extent that it depends on the history of the evolution of our species, is very, very different in different branches of the wave function. I don't know either how sensitive human behavior is to these small variations,. nor do I really know how big the variations are just due to different quantum measurements being made or different decoherence or branching events. David Maxwell says, and this is the other question that does actually have something to do with Laura Boojak's podcast. It could be interesting and important. I just don't know.

Welcome to the February 2023 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!

The big news this month is the successful awarding of the first ever Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship. Congratulations to Lyat Melese and Rehman Hassan! We continue to collection donations for next year’s scholarship contest.
