Episode notes

I don't see any particular special need for NFT or blockchain technology in science or publishing right now. I think it's kind of the opposite. In modern science, the way that you claim something is to make it public. Whoever puts the result out there first gets priority for it. It incentivizes sharing the scientific results as much as possible,. which is good for science. Now I'm teaching every week, and that's a more of a weekly constraint on my time than I had before.

Welcome to the September 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 Patrons, 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!
