Episode notes

Andrew goldstein says respect for data generated by and conclusions drawn from scientifically sound research appears to be in decline, especially when it contradicts held beliefs. How do you think science believers can help facilitate more people to listen to what scientist science has to say about everything from vaccines to climate change to emergence? Emergence is a bit of a surprise. Ther no, emergence was like a hot topic in science donihilist story circles. But no, maybe it is. Maybe have not been reading the right terfeeds a this is going to be a similar i wanted to answer the question because i think t an important question to ask, but i don't think that my answer will be especially enlightening

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.
