Recently, a picture of you playing WoW at a libertarian conference went viral. It seems that this may have been in large part due to the fact that most view ‘gaming’ as, as you put it in your blog, a juvenile activity. Do you believe that adults do not participate in gaming due to the stigma, or more so due to the fact that we naturally lose our curiosity and ability to adopt new technologies as we age – and that you have been resistant to this phenomena?

You’ve stated your fondness for Mike Huemer’s work in libertarian philosophy. Huemer acknowledges a place for morality in justifying a libertarian position, while also emphasizing the importance of an empirical / economic rationale. Do you believe that appeals to “common sense morality”, as he puts it, have a place in libertarian thought?

Have you ever taken a meyers-briggs personality test? If so, what is your personality type?

Your Wikipedia page mentions that you are an atheist. Could you elaborate on your thoughts regarding religion, and your lack thereof? Do you believe society would be better off if we were entirely secular (“better”, of course, relative to certain outcomes rather than in a moral context). As a semi-related follow-up, if you had the means, would you consider freezing yourself when you die?
