Thank you for doing this AMA.

Do you ever play military style first person shooter video games, like Call of Duty or Battlefield? If yes, what do you think about how they represent war, violence, gore? If not, what do you think about such games in general, can they be used to make young people more interested in joining the army, almost like a recruitment tool, or is it just another form of entertainment, more or less harmless like so many other video games?

Do you think it's true that, very broadly speaking, there is decreasing trust in data among the public and that experts' opinions are less convincing than before? Very often I hear friends and colleagues talk about the "post-truth" world we live in and this era of populism when public relations and echo chambers reign supreme... Do you believe that data or evidence or logic have the power to influence the world on a popular level? Or is this approach flawed and the audience for data should be small, targeted, and contextual? Perhaps the idea of "putting a human face on data" has some merit?
