When Donald Trump won the election in 2016, there was a period where you couldn't have dinner with people without it just being like, oh no, the world is ending. And obviously, climate change is super duper important and super duper interesting, but I'm not going to do a podcast just to sort of reassure ourselves that we're virtuous about it.

Welcome to the November 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!
