Mindscape Guests are the ones whose books I want to read. Camilla Pang's book, the instruction manual for being humans written by someone on the autism spectrum was fascinating and very educational. John Wellborn: Is there an end game you can imagine that makes this pursuit worth the time, money, energy spent or do you not look at it in those terms? And what is your philosophical justification for saying that particular pursuit is worthwhile?
Welcome to the December 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 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!
Remember that I take a holiday break at the end of the year, so the next AMA will be at the beginning of February.
