"I am a believer in paring for those kinds of things, and also in appreciating that it's difficult to put precisely the right amount of effort into preparing for something like that," he says. "If i'm not alloed to write or speak or teach or do research for a living, it's not not a lot that i'm both competent at and could earn a living doing."
Welcome to the June 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! We are inaugurating a slightly different publication schedule, in which these monthly AMA will take the place of one of the regular Monday episodes, rather than being in addition to all of them. A slight tweak that will hopefully make my obligations a little more manageable.
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!
