David Gilmour (hopefully with a quick jam session as dessert)
Would the “celebrity” have a security detail?
That one guy’s dead wife obviously.
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted, I laughed.
Living: David Attenborough
Dead: Marilyn Monroe
Fictional: Ford Prefect
Stephen Hawking was the only person I’d have used this offer for, now I really can’t think of anyone. Brian Cox maybe?
Which one? Either would lead to remarkably different evenings.
Uncle Roger. I want to either enjoy the roast of YouTube videos or have yummy food that I wouldn’t necessarily order myself
Do I have to do it tonight, or can there be a ‘waiting period’? (I have nothing to wear…)
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.
Probably Andre Gregory.
Living: Keanu Reeves
Dead: Marcus Aurelius
Fictional: Jean-Luc Picard
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
Living: Gabe Newell
Dead: Sir Terry Pratchett
Fictional: Commander Samuel Vimes
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.
Joe Mama
Mmmm nobody, because I don’t respect or care for anyone who is considered to be a celebrity. I just don’t get it.
