One thing people would be surprised to know about you?
That often times I just sit in silence. Sometimes I don’t like to talk. Sometimes I have nothing to say.
What’s the one thing you hope to see change in the world?
For people to stop seeing society as a zero-sum game. We’ve convinced ourselves that in order for one person to win, another has to lose.
What’s the one thing you would grab from your house (after family members and pets) if it caught fire?
I don’t have children. So it would be weird for me to be grabbing children in a fire. Where did they come from? My photos are in the cloud. I wonder if I’d grab anything. To be honest, I don’t think I would. I mean, if I have me, what else do I need?
