Episode notes

This chapter explores the cultural and historical factors that contribute to the complex political landscape in the United States, particularly the political polarization of climate change. It discusses how the legacy of slavery and the Civil War, as well as economic disparities, have shaped the country's political divisions and highlights the unique coalition that makes up the Republican Party.

Welcome to the October 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!
