Thanks for doing this AMA!

You said you work as a trader now, ... how did that happen?

What's your educational background?

Do you think that an average but relatively fit man could train the skills you acquired in the special forces within a few years? Or are the soldiers all absolutely exceptional athletes?

What kind of skills do you train as a special forces soldier, apart from the obvioius ones like hand-to-hand combat or physical training? There are some videos on youtube of speznaz demonstrations, did you do these kinds of "show"-exercises?

Again thanks for doing this and greetings from Germany!

It's interesting how half the accounts asking questions are a few hours or days old.

Also every single one of those accounts' questions has "make school" in it and sounds like an intentional PR question.

What a coincidence, isn't it...

First of all a very big THANK YOU for doing another AMA. I narrowly missed your last one unfortunately.

Now to my question: Many people think there is a big chance that humanity's current path will lead to a civilization without a need for human work (or at least so little that supply far outweighs demand, even with all human needs taken care of).

If we reach such a stage: How do you think we will cope? The main points people bring up in this discussion seem to be art and relationships/social work. Another big one (in my opinion) will be education/striving for knowledge. But surely, we can't just spend our whole day painting and talking to other people?

I think my question is basically this: do you believe the rate of people with psychological problems would go up if nobody had to work anymore? And how do you judge the possibilities to deal with that possibly growing number of dissatisfied people?
