Episode notes

i think that the idea of democracy can be implemented in many different ways, but its fundamental foundation is the idea that the authority comes from the will of the people. And i think tat's a human thing and not a western thing at all. But you know, japan seems to be doing pretty well with democratic governante, even though it's not a western country. I have no trouble whatever in thinking that countries elsewhere in the world can embrace democratic values, even if not western values.

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.
