Episode notes

This is the monthly episode where i answer questions from patrion supporters. Hequestions are asked by people who support mind scape on patrion different you are ll there. You can support mindscape with a dollar per episode, or whatever it is. And then if you do that every month, you can ask questions. I don't get all the questions. There's too many of i go for ones that i have interesting things to say about,. One question was whether one organism's color spectrum might be inverted relative to another's. Or would the language of qalia be something like the language of free will, a legitimate way of referring to a concept that emerges in higher level

Welcome to the July 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.

Big news this week! Mindscape is working with Bold.org to sponsor a college scholarship for students interested in studying the fundamental nature of reality. Listeners can find more details and donate here. Our immediate goal is to raise $10,000, and I will match the first $5,000, so this shouldn’t be too hard for us here. Hopefully we can raise much more! And hopefully this will help encourage someone who might not otherwise have been able to study this kind of topic.
