Gregory Cnickus: God is a perfectly good thing to consider, right? He says he finds no evidence that there's anything gained by imagining we're living in a simulation. "I don't really have strong feelings about how to live your life if you do live in a simulation," writes Cnickus. The author also questions Robert Heinlein's fondness for the Starship Troopers.
Welcome to the September 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 Patrons, 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!
