Episode notes

JWST will be able to tell us something, but it'll be hints and indications. If the telescope is literally at the other end of the galaxy or halfway across the universe, that is too far away. I definitely read and cite philosophers who are currently in China or Japan. But that's usually not what people have in mind when they say Eastern philosophy. David Maxwell says, are there aspects of Eastern philosophy that you actively consider, research, or teach?

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!
