Episode notes

Every i that we know about how physics works will stop working. No physicist is really going to take this very seriously at all. Noting is it gives you precisely zero progress on the hard problem of consciousness. Once you've adapted the laws of physics from the local form tha we know and love to some non local form, the're still laws of physics. There's still physical stuff doing its physical thing. I don't see what the possible motivation for breaking all the law of physics is to make absolutely no difference to the problem that you're trying to proach. That would be my answer.

Welcome to the June 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! We are inaugurating a slightly different publication schedule, in which these monthly AMA will take the place of one of the regular Monday episodes, rather than being in addition to all of them. A slight tweak that will hopefully make my obligations a little more manageable.

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!
