Episode notes

Paul Blooms Against Empathy is one of the ideas from past guests that you bring up a lot. Is it just a coincidence? Or is it something that you're specifically mulling over and trying to get opinions on from a variety of perspectives? Well, I think I hadn't noticed that, but I absolutely believe it is possible. My explanation for it would be that I strongly believe something more or less the opposite of what Paul argues for in that book & podcast.

Welcome to the February 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!

The big news this month is the successful awarding of the first ever Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship. Congratulations to Lyat Melese and Rehman Hassan! We continue to collection donations for next year’s scholarship contest.
