Just wanted to say thanks for doing the podcast! It has become my favourite podcast to listen to (and I listen to a lot of them!). The style of it is relaxing and yet mentally stimulating at the same time. I enjoy all the philosophical questions as well!

Thank you! To me, asking philosophical questions of world-class mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, engineers is eye-opening and inspiring. It's taking a break at looking up at the stars. I love the messy details of engineering, but every once in a while it feels great to pause, and reflect on the big picture of our incredible, unlikely existence here on Earth.

As Oscar Wilde said: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

I love the gutter and I love the stars!
