Episode notes

I have very mixed feelings about the public nature of people trying to reproduce this. I don't think you should put everything online. There has to be a place for people just to talk without the whole world looking over their shoulder. And that's just for theorists who are relatively low stakes in this game, right? Or experimentalists who are trying to do very, very careful testing and measuring of quantities.

Welcome to the August 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!
