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!

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.
0:52.6	If I'm not answering your question.
