Episode notes

I see essentially zero chance that Ukraine and Russia are going to agree on any peace agreement. I don't think we really have the right to demand such a thing. Neither would be a good outcome for Ukraine to put it mildly. If we set a precedent that nuclear powers can invade other countries and get what they want, I don’t think that letting that precedent be set necessarily decreases the chances for nuclear war down the line.

Welcome to the October 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!
