A lot of time that is spent sitin not doing anything. There'se things happening inside your brain, but it isn't evident to the outside world. You don't know what kind of directions are going pay off. So even if sometimes the time is wasted, i don't know it ahead of time so i'm not sad about doing that. I just take that as part of the job.
Welcome to the April 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. Enjoy!
