i don't think of myself as being strongly affected by t the fact that y gou up in philadelphia. That's completely unfair to the extent that i'm just thinking of suburban philadelphia is just normal, and everyone else is weird,. That's not true. And also, i mean, partly because i think the people overrate the extent to which different cities, or different locations within one country are really different from each other. Like, you know, boston and philadelphia will tell you stories about how different they are. They're not that different, really.
Welcome to the November 2021 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!
