Hi guys. I've been a huge fan since I was young and it's been great seeing you do well over the years. I'm studying math at university right now, and I'm always inspired by your ability to use engineering to enhance your art, most notably in the recent video. I mostly want to thank you guys for being a source of inspiration in that sense.

Since I have to ask a question though: What are the backgrounds of the team that you work with to create videos? I assume many of them are engineers, but I imagine that it takes a special kind of person to be able to consider things from both an aesthetic and scientific point of view. I'd love to hear a little bit about who the behind-the-scenes people are and how you find them.

Thanks for doing this AMA, Mr. Wales. As a student, you have my eternal gratitude.

You obviously care deeply about facts and truth. With the proliferation of the internet, we often hear about how it's becoming easier and easier to find communities of people who share your views, and to insulate yourself in an "echo chamber". I think you'll agree that this phenomenon is bad on the whole, seeing as it allows people to get comfortable and to never have their views challenged.

Is there anything that you think should, or even can, be done on the internet to combat this phenomenon?

Hi Dr. Peterson. Thanks for doing this AMA.

What are your thoughts on the internet's "instant gratification culture" and how it relates to the erosion of attention spans? The internet can certainly be a powerful tool, but do you think that the limitless opportunities it presents can be too much? With a constant stream of content to consume, are our identities as individuals at stake?

What's the best way to be selected to work there? I'm currently studying applied math, but it's always been of mine to do research there. Are most of the workers engineers? biologists? environmental scientists?
