To me the key thing is getting it right. And if a person's really smart and they're doing fantastic work I don't care if they're a high school kid or a Harvard professor, it's the work that matters.

I'm a big advocate of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought.

I'm a very friendly person, and I think that's had a big impact on my work because I tend to be pretty good with not trying to always win every argument and things like that. I just sort of try to bring a lot of people together to talk.

There's kind of this real social pressure to not argue about things.

I think that reality exists and that it's knowable.

I have no regular schedule. I get up whenever I can.

We have to come together, worldwide, and "think". We have a tool - the internet - to let us do that. Let's use it wisely.
