Episode notes

We're more in contact with people around the world. That's the good news, but there's also systems of control that become much larger than individual human beings. Even if it's a democracy, you're still one out of hundreds of millions of people. And when you look at what politicians are doing, what government is doing, etc., it is very easy to get the impression that they're not centrally focused on your concerns.

Welcome to the May 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!
