Episode notes

Late night lennox says, the scientific method was devised by white men. Same with math. Some people say this makes them inherently biased, and possibly even races. Is this something that you've thought about? I haven't thught a lot but also, i don't know a lot of people who say that. That's not to say that the science or the math are a biased or racist. But they can be put to racest or biased purposes. And that's something we should think about.

Welcome to the July 2022 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.

Big news this week! Mindscape is working with Bold.org to sponsor a college scholarship for students interested in studying the fundamental nature of reality. Listeners can find more details and donate here. Our immediate goal is to raise $10,000, and I will match the first $5,000, so this shouldn’t be too hard for us here. Hopefully we can raise much more! And hopefully this will help encourage someone who might not otherwise have been able to study this kind of topic.
