00:00 Start stream
1:36 SW starts talking
1:54-9:26 What business opportunities could you see being successful in the next ten years?
9:37-20:32 ​​What do you think about the sort of "density of information" in science or philosophy? Like your TED talk could be a pamphlet, a book, or a multi-volume set of books. Same deal with philosophy?
20:38-21:37 Would you ever teach a how-to writing course?
21:50-28:47 ​​What's your opinion about the space tourism business?
29:00-31:23 Do you think there's a missing feature of current tech that computer or phone developers are overlooking? How can they capitalize on AI?
31:28-33:54 Somebody from NASA or SpaceX should put a 360 degree camera on Mars such that people on Earth can look around.
34:02-36:37 How important do you think interdisciplinary knowledge is for driving innovation?
37:05-41:50 I'm entering college this fall, what advice do you have for a college student's first year?
41:54-45:50 Can you think of ways to make a career out of learning?
45:58-50:55 How can I stay focused and work on projects that I'm not necessarily excited about? With general ed especially where my major is not focused.
51:06-56:49 I have several ideas for real world applications of my work and I am a scholar in my heart, and it seems that a math PhD (currently doing MSc) and then continue being around academia is the best way to do that. Could you say your thoughts about this? Should I leave academia and working on these, or mixing, or only after PhD?
56:58-1:03:18 [My advice for education] take classes that teach you how to learn or solve problems or different ways to think about subjects. Those were the most valuable classes.
1:03:20-1:05:50 Could there be an argument for different types of schooling vs common curriculums? To better fit different learning styles?
1:05:55-1:09:42 ​How do you compare scholarly life vs entrepreneurial life?
1:09:45-1:19:14 Can being a CEO be taught or is it something a person innately has the ability for? What would you study?
1:20:08: End streama
