Welcome to the August 2025 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!Blog post with questions and transcript:

"Rethinking Developmental Dyslexia," offers a personal and research-backed perspective on developmental dyslexia, distinguishing it from acquired reading loss and highlighting its complex cognitive underpinnings. The author shares a six-decade journey, emphasizing that dyslexia is a cognitive difference, not a deficit, and explores how it influences problem-solving, empathy, and understanding. The article identifies three main cognitive types of developmental dyslexia (phonological,

What does it mean to embody unity—not as a lofty ideal, but a lived reality? In this final episode, Dr. Atkinson invites us into the practices, virtues, and daily devotions of living in harmony with self, other, nature, and the cosmos. We explore the new human story being written now—and how each of us plays a vital role in the turning of the age.Robert Atkinson, Ph.D., author, speaker, and developmental psychologist, is a 2017 Nautilus Book Award winner for The Story of Our Time: From Duality to

In this episode, we sit down with Australian climate scientist Professor Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick to explore the story of climate science, how we first discovered the planet was warming, and what we now know about the forces driving it. Sarah breaks down the role of carbon dioxide in trapping heat like a planetary blanket and shares insights from her cutting-edge research on long-term climate modelling. What would happen if we stopped emitting CO₂ today? The answers are sobering, yet they also

How does a star like our Sun actually work? What fuels this giant ball of gas—and how does it change over time? And where do the elements of the periodic table really come from?In this episode, we explore these cosmic questions with our guest, Professor Alexander Shapiro from the University of Graz.

Professor Gordon Cheng builds humanoid robots that can feel their environment using artificial skin. In this episode of Brains and Machines, he talks to Dr. Sunny Bains of University College London about how the skin was designed, how it improves safety, and why neuromorphic engineering will be important for machine autonomy. Discussion follows with Dr. Giulia D’Angelo from the Czech Technical University in Prague and Professor Ralph Etienne-Cummings of Johns Hopkins University.
