Why do people always ask him the same questions? Is it the easiest way to get an interview with him these days, promising that you'll clone previous interviews?

Someone needs to sit him down and do nothing but ask about programming languages for an hour or two at some point.
On the other hand, the question about his homepage was neat.
- chrisco255 7y agoYeah someone should do a Joe Rogan style interview with PG.
- beigeoak 7y ago"That's crazy Paul. Have you ever done DMT?"
- arman_ashrafian 7y agoI would like to see him on lex fridman's podcast
- kick 7y agoRogan and Fridman both ask very shallow questions. I want to see him get grilled by someone familiar with the subject matter. Anything less gets questions about the lowest common denominator.
- chrisco255 7y agoHow about Eric Weinstein? He asks great questions on The Portal.
- kick 7y agoI find him lacking intellectual curiosity, although I've only had limited exposure to him. Do you have something you'd recommend for a "deeper look" into him or his work?
- chrisco255 7y agoSure, check out his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/nobani88/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/nobani88/videos
- brenden2 7y agoThere's a certain degree of survivorship bias. They do what gets the clicks, and what gets the clicks is what you're mostly likely to see.
- thimkerbell 7y agoWhat would you ask?
- nl 7y agoHonestly - yes he loves Lisp but it doesn't matter in anyway.
- kick 7y agoGetting the exact same five answers from him repeatedly about what he thinks about startups and philosophy doesn't matter in any way, as you put it, and he's currently working on a programming language. Programming languages, it stands to reason, are what he should be asked about.
