I have no idea if your company is interesting, but the questions are.
-What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
That the first duty of a society is to ensure that everyone is housed, healthy, fed and educated.
-What is a great company that no one has started yet?
I'm not much of a consumer. The only things that come to mind are more like non-profits and foundations dedicated to things like cheap and widely available pharmaceuticals, and other social improvement.
-What are some of your favorite websites?
HN, NYT, fuckinghomepage.com, python.org, stackoverflow, google news, google images, google translate.
-What are some of your favorite books?
Effective Computation in Physics, Python for Data Analysis, The Ringworld Series, Gone With the Wind, Adventures of Frog and Toad, Unix Power Tools, Catch 22, Working by Studs Terkel, A Canticle for Liebowitz, Travels With Charlie, Cannery Row, East of Eden, The Beautiful and the Damned, Time Enough for Love.
-What would you do if you knew that you only had 24 hours left on Earth?
Go outside.
-What do you really believe in?
I marvel at the unfathomable size and age of the universe, and the effectively zero chance that I could ever exist. I believe that when I look out at the universe, in at myself, and around at my world and fellow beings, that it's an instance of the universe observing and knowing itself. I also believe that we humans are wasting our world and our civilization, that this could be a true paradise of love, respect and potential, and I'm skeptically optimistic that that could come to pass.
