Episode notes

In the solo episode, why is there something rather than nothing, you mentioned that the answer could simply be a brute fact that requires no further explanation. Do you have any examples of other questions that can be answered with a similar brute fact explanation? If possible, one question that is more down to earth less intimidating than the question of existence of everything. Yeah, I think there's plenty of brute facts out there.

Welcome to the March 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!
