Richard Moore: I'm not a big fan of approval voting, although it has some advantages. He says the idea that if I just vote for someone or don't vote for them, that's a harsh binary choice. In approval voting, you say whether you approve or disapprove of a long list of candidates and then run into problems with names you might never have heard of. "I would like to know much more about that. But I honestly don't know"
Welcome to the February 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!

The big news this month is the successful awarding of the first ever Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship. Congratulations to Lyat Melese and Rehman Hassan! We continue to collection donations for next year’s scholarship contest.
