    Stephen Hawking was the only person I’d have used this offer for, now I really can’t think of anyone. Brian Cox maybe?

    Uncle Roger. I want to either enjoy the roast of YouTube videos or have yummy food that I wouldn’t necessarily order myself

    Oh you know I’d force a certain King in Chief to sit down with me for four hours, it would be delightful, with a spectacular closing act.

    It would be interesting to talk to Decartes, but I don’t speak Français, so it would have to be… idk… Nick Bostrom would be interesting

    I’m not burning to have a conversation with any celebrity in person, but I’d probably pick some famous philosopher or scientist or something so that the conversation would at least be interesting.

      I agree. I think there is a reason we have the saying: Never meet your heroes.

      Anyone I pick would in my mind have been built up to some impossible to live up to standard that they could never meet, so picking someone passionate about something I like seems like the better move.

      Probably Linus Torvalds

        I just don’t pay that much attention to celebrities, I don’t give a shit about all the BS around being famous, I don’t care about their opinions on literally anything, etc, so even if I had heroes they wouldn’t be celebrities.

    Mmmm nobody, because I don’t respect or care for anyone who is considered to be a celebrity. I just don’t get it.
