Episode notes

I think we nevertheless need to weigh them, right? I mean, maybe you could say that between the year zero and the year 1500, religion had mostly good consequences, or maybe not. So I think it's easy to say like the Industrial Revolution had both good consequences and bad consequences. When you go at that grand scope of event, they will always have both good advances and bad advances. And so you have to decide the best you can, whether it's going to be net positive or net negative"

Welcome to the September 2022 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 Patrons, 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!
