Episode notes

Rob Patro says the recent drama surrounding Twitter has renewed debate over the optimal bounds of speech on online platforms. How do you think that we as a society should balance the necessity of open and free debate with the dangers posed by speech that incites violence and constitutes harassment? "I don't think I can give an answer that is any better than all the implications here in the question that Rob asked," he said.

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.
