Episode notes

Science has become cool and interest in it widespread. Basic scientific literacy is widely thought of as useful to life. Yet philosophy is thought of as a niche area of little relevance outside its own academic bubble. As someone who's indirectly bridged that gap for me, how would you encourage the reframing and marketing of philosophy? I'm not sure if there are two sides of the same coin, but I see them as continuous with each other, science and philosophy.

Welcome to the June 2023 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!
