Speaker krane talks about conspiracy theorists and why they're wrong. He says when he was a kid, comic book characters were more supernatural than movie stars. But now that he knows the world better, there's no way to know for sure if any of them are real. Krane: "You do not want tickle an itch" but be willing to accept ambiguity in your decisions.
Welcome to the May 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — 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!
