$0/moFreeHiddenPatron count not public
$1/moClassical TierHiddenPatrons receive: (1) The ability to ask questions for monthly AMA episodes, (2) Ad-free versions of each episode, and (3) My undying gratitude.
Becoming a Mindscape patron lets the world know that you are a person of discernment and taste, and that you are sufficiently devoted to the cause of elevated intellectual discourse that you are willing to support it with cold hard cash.
$2/moRelativistic TierHiddenAdditional benefits of becoming a Relativistic supporter: None whatsoever, really. Other than even more gratitude.
It's really about your own self-image. Are you a Newtonian, clockwork, absolute-space-and-time kind of person? Or are you a revolutionary 20th-century visionary who unifies our conception of the cosmos and isn't afraid of some fearsome math? Ask yourself.
$5/moQuantum TierHiddenAdditional benefits of becoming a Quantum supporter: Still none. But even more gratitude!
Are you willing to move beyond clockwork, into a truly modern perspective characterized by decoherence, probabilistic predictions, and radical uncertainty? Do you think an hour of Mindscape is worth at least as much as a venti cafe mocha? Then Quantum Tier might be for you.
$10/moMultiverse TierHiddenProbably you know the drill by now, benefits-wise. Who knows? Maybe someday in the future I'll add some actual benefits to the higher tiers.
But think of all the gratitude you'll be getting! Also, how cool it will look to include "Multiverse Tier Mindscape Patron" on your resume and/or business cards.
Now we're talking the elite of the elite. Those who transcend commonplace notions of space and time, to take in a universe of possibilities the typical human mind strains to comprehend. Most people, it is said, lead lives of quiet desperation; Multiverse Tier supporters lead lives that are continually enlivened by wrestling with - and defeating! - the thorniest existential challenges posed by reality as we know it.
