i don't think you should be suspicious. I guet why you're suspicious, that you had a point of view for a very long time and it all seemed perfectly sensible,. Then sudenly you switched. But what i really think is that it's less sudden than you imagine. Because we have conscious level beliefs but there's a lot going on beneath the surface. And an example a genifer willett, my wife, talks about this in a talk that she gave, in an article she's written.
Welcome to the July 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.
Big news this week! Mindscape is working with Bold.org to sponsor a college scholarship for students interested in studying the fundamental nature of reality. Listeners can find more details and donate here. Our immediate goal is to raise $10,000, and I will match the first $5,000, so this shouldn’t be too hard for us here. Hopefully we can raise much more! And hopefully this will help encourage someone who might not otherwise have been able to study this kind of topic.
