Bogart: There's a sort of physics thinking, and I do try to teach it in the biggest ideas. Bogart: The reason why physics works so well is that it's often pretty clear in physics cases what you can ignore. He says think like a physicist, by all means.

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!
