Episode notes

There's no inevitability to these giant social media platforms. The asset of Twitter is the user base, not some factory or something like this. That's why I don't want government to regulate it too much because it's not inevitable. Most other scenarios are in my opinion too slow and not devastating enough.

Welcome to the December 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!

Remember that I take a holiday break at the end of the year, so the next AMA will be at the beginning of February.
