Welcome to the September 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — 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!

These are more valuable than gold or platinum. Thank you.
-
I'm very lucky to be alive. To have the internet, youtube, and Sean Carroll.
-
I could not stop laughing, including writing this comment: when you said,"Too bad there is no diagram." in your high sing songy voice. So so funny!
-
I really appreciate all the content in your channel, specially this AMAs. Thank you very much Prof. Dr. Sean.
-
2:50:47 "Professor, I am enchanted with your subtle answer, pointing to the absurd of the question 😁🔥
-
Thanks for taking the time to do this Sean, it was great to listen to on my drive
-
Sean I know this implies a bit more work, but can you put questions that you engage in in the description of the video? It's easier to find stuff that way given that AMA videos have no particular topics
-
Finally! September AMA. Thank you Sean very much! It will ruin my night sleep, but I don't care. It's worth it to be tired at work tomorrow, hehe. 👍
-
This is an incredible 3 and a half hours
-
Great story about John Rawls!
-
Very appealing, when you think of emergence you deal with high lexical ambiguity levels, being an interdisciplinary concept. Scales, on the other hand, are very useful and objective. I have imagined a time where, from "nano bots" we could reach giant biotechnology based interstellar traveling devices... Juvenile dreams are free of almost all boundaries... even when you are not young. 🎂🤔
-
Very excited for the "biggest ideas" book series.
-
thank you sir.
-
Anyone know which episode (and time stamp) in which he talks about the possible futures of covid? I fell asleep to that last night and want to re-listen
-
Bones consulting reference around 2:28:50 : "The Spark in the Park", S9E11
-
Love these!
-
So for time, would it work to think of the “big bang” propelling us (the matter of the universe) through the time part of space time and it gave us such momentum that the only way to turn back and go against the tide would be such massive gravity that it pulls us back through time?
-
You are amazing !!!
-
2:14:21 Orientation: in fact the plane of our solar system is tilted by like 60° to the plane of the Milky Way, in other words tilted by 2/3.
-
i just heard there is a theory that there is only one electron in the universe, that it time travels to be everywhere....have i been mislead?
