Summary
Welcome to the April 2021 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!
Support Mindscape on Patreon.

| 0:42.2 | And look, it breaks my heart, honestly. |
| 0:44.6 | Like I would like to answer all these questions. |
| 0:47.3 | But I have to pick and choose. |
| 0:48.8 | And what I want to emphasize is it's not you, it's me. |
