Justin Wolkont: I could live at least 1000 years and still keep things interesting until the earth is destroyed or humans are no more. He says he feels guilty going on some campaign to think that we should know less about what is going on in the outside world. "I do think that there's a case to be made that we are sort of over informed about some things"

Welcome to the February 2023 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!

The big news this month is the successful awarding of the first ever Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship. Congratulations to Lyat Melese and Rehman Hassan! We continue to collection donations for next year’s scholarship contest.
