Summary

Welcome to the June 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!

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the June 2021 SB anything edition of the

0:04.1

Mindscape podcast. I'm your host, Sean Carroll. So this is the

0:08.7

coming out of pandemic time period that we're in right now.

0:13.2

lives again a little bit. Jennifer and I both fully vaccinated,

slowly starting to do things that we weren't doing before,

some restaurants, if they had open outside seating, then there was a

0:32.3

little bit where you could go. But now we're able to go to some of

0:35.3

our old favorite restaurants that are reopening again. We even went

0:38.7

to a movie in a movie theater. We have not yet gotten on a plane. I

0:43.4

know that some people were getting on planes, of course, all along,

0:46.0

trying to take precautions, but we didn't have any strong needs to go

0:50.3

anywhere. So we haven't been on a plane in over a year. I don't have a

0:53.9

plane trip planned until I think July or something like that, maybe

0:57.2

August. So that'll be something. I hope I can remember everything.

1:00.7

I did notice that my passport had expired. So I got to get that

1:04.7

fixed. All of the crap that is involved with coming back to the

1:08.2

real world overall, it's very much worth it. But whoof, there's a

1:11.7

lot of stuff you got to get done. Other than that, yeah, no news

1:16.0

from around here, really, I'm looking forward to answering these
