It just didn't occur to me, sitting at my computer, that I would end up travelling all over the world.

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.

My original concept was to provide a free encyclopedia for every single person in the world.

I spent lots of time reading the encyclopedia and really kind of an eclectic approach to learning things - not very structured.

I think people have to recognise that the traditional modes of authority weren't that great.

Simply having rules does not change the things that people want to do. You have to change incentive.

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