Episode notes

Ezra parzebo says he is in favor of being prepared for disasters. He thinks some people fetishize the idea of a preparing for unlikely events that are extremely unlikely. Parzebo: There's a bigger discussion to be had here about the whole way we think about really bad possibilities that happeny rarely, right? A low probability event, but it would be really, really disastrous.

Welcome to the March 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!
