Episode notes

The idea that you have to go to the top school to get a good education is entirely wrong, says Gregory Kussnick. Affirmative action is not a great system and I would lower the temperature on discussions about it, he says. The reaction against affirmative action is just weird and bad,. It's also intellectually misplaced.

Welcome to the August 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!
