Episode notes

Democracy can very easily collapse from withinside. To be in favor of democracy means to give up some of what you want, right? And there's just anice in number of people of all political persuasions who just don't think that way any more. They're not willing to make the effort to gain power by trying to persuade people who don't agree with them to go along with their policies.

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!
