Iki Iki Iike, purestorf says some scientific theories capture the public imagination in ways that others don't. Constructor theory has been hailed as a new approach to doing science but only inventors are talking about it.

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!
