Summary
<p>Welcome to the May 2026 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by <a href="https://www.patreon.com/seanmcarroll">Patreon supporters</a> (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!</p> <p>Blog post with AMA questions and full transcript: <a href="https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2026/05/04/ama-may-2026/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2026/05/04/ama-may-2026/</a></p> <p>Henson Shaving is offering 100 blades free with the purchase of a razor — just head to <a href="https://hensonshaving.com/MINDSCAPE">hensonshaving.com/MINDSCAPE</a> and or use code MINDSCAPE at checkout. #sponsored</p> <p>Take your personal data back with Incogni!
