Sean Carroll: Need to hire? You need indeed.com slash Mindscape. The hiring platform where you can attract, interview, and hire all in one place. A huge thanks to everyone who has been donating to the Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship Fund. One point early on is how profoundly the spread of general literacy has changed the way people think.
Welcome to the October 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 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!
