Episode notes

As a theoretical physicist, you have no idea what you're actually going to do for the next three years. So very often you end up kind of lying. If there's someone who has clearly been doing super good work for over a decade, why are you putting them through this pretending that they're going to do something that they've already done or they're just guessing at? It's just a complete waste of very, very, very valuable resources in my mind.

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!
